From the lo-fi romance of “Pretty Things” to the testy ’90s emo of “Lakewood,” Chatterton are all mood and momentum.” - PITCHFORK “Dreamy indie rock a la Duster/Sparklehorse with interesting, dynamic shifts and subtle hooks to keep things moving along.” - BANDCAMP DAILY “I’m just going to come out and say “this sounds like Pavement crossed with Modest Mouse” and add “in the best possible way.” - STEVEN HYDEN, UPROXX “Brock Pierce and Logan Scrivner really know how to make music together.“ - AMERICAN SONGWRITER Oxnard, CA indie rock duo Chatterton are excited to announce their new EP, Tiny Empire, arriving September 19, 2025, via 7th Heaven. Lead single and closing track of the EP “Blouse” is out now, with crescendoing bossa nova-inspired instrumentals and shimmering vocals. Along with an official music video, “Blouse” waltzes its listener with biting lyricism and saultering brass solos.  "“This song [Blouse] was the last one we recorded for the EP. It started as something I was absentmindedly strumming between sessions," bandleader Brock Pierce explains. "Logan really liked it so we spent some time working on it before eventually shelving the idea. It wasn’t until the final few sessions that we decided, on impulse, to finish it for the EP. We even cut a song to make room for it. I’m glad it worked out that way." "I remember the demo was just the line, ‘you trip on hollow earth, hahaha,’ repeated over and over. A few days earlier someone at a bar talked my ear off about their theory that the earth was hollow, mixed with a bunch of other ideas about the bible and the world, so I think that concept was still stuck in my head. I wanted the lyrics to sound like an argument, and Lily’s added vocals rounded that idea out really well.” LISTEN TO “BLOUSE” WATCH “BLOUSE” PRE-ORDER TINY EMPIRE Today’s track arrives with an official music video, featuring bandleaders Brock Pierce and Logan Scrivner performing “Blouse” at a florist and their subsequent floral-filled journey and fight. Filmed around suburban Southern California strip malls and parks, the video for the single captures Chatterton’s ability to infuse levity into emotional entanglements.  Last year, Chatterton released their sophomore album, Fields of This, which was met with critical acclaim from Pitchfork, UPROXX, Bandcamp Daily, and more. A towering collection of songs, the record was a culmination of years of writing and recording, exploring various influences through airtight melodies and whirling guitars. In the words of Nina Corcoran for Pitchfork, “[Fields Of This] is brash yet diffident. From the lo-fi romance of “Pretty Things” to the testy ’90s emo of “Lakewood,” Chatterton are all mood and momentum.”
