I eat my own arm.” And with everything laid bare in the tracks, the full-length LP **_PUSSYCAT BABYLON _**gets its release on vinyl and DSPs TODAY (August 24, 2021) _via _Josie’s own record label **Kitten Robot Records.** Supporting the release, Josie has several US live shows lined up in **Chicago, NYC** and **San Francisco**, with a special show in **Jersey City, NJ **that includes a screening of the iconic 1983 film **_Valley Girl _**with Nicolas Cage in which she appears playing with her band the Party Crashers. **See list of dates below.** _Pussycat Babylon_ is an electropop master stroke of musical pastiches, fetching melodies and energetic rhythms and marks her metamorphosis as a songwriter. **AntiMusic** says, “Cotton has a reputation for producing fun and upbeat pop songs… She wrote most of the songs on this 11-song effort and she did one heck of a good job.” From the motor-revving excitement of “**Recipe For Disaster**” to the flamboyantly technicolor single **“Calling All Girls”** to the dark, sexy _noir_ slink of “**Stop Iggy Pop**” to the majestic disco of “**All I Can See Is The Face of Bruce Lee**” to the saccharine promiscuity of “**Super 8**” the album is an excursion into Josie’s ultra-creative and hyperactive mind.
