From Beethoven to surf music to demonic children’s choirs and beyond, he transformed the music of the low-brow horror movie into unforgettable art.”   **Listen to Josie Cotton’s **_**Day of the Gun**_ [Apple Music](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=df2cda3c73&e=615f2b8493)/ [Spotify](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=063381e95d&e=615f2b8493)/ [Pandora](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=2827424ac2&e=615f2b8493)/ [Youtube](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=cbe3a616c3&e=615f2b8493)/ [Deezer](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=fe0bc2c6fa&e=615f2b8493)/ [Amazon](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=ee101bc89c&e=615f2b8493) For the album writing process, she drew from multiple sources of influence. The speedy, subconscious writing of her song “[**Disco Ball**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=e40aa16273&e=615f2b8493)” she says, “was like being a stenographer on a train.” The lyrics for her _noir_- influenced previous single “[**Cold War Spy**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=8eba1ecd1d&e=615f2b8493)” were inspired by George Orwell, John le Carré spy novels and fascination with the Cold War. Proving her inspiration can come from anywhere, “**The Fathomless Tale of Silky and Sam**” came from a dream about a spider she befriends in a parallel world. Her new album, _DAY OF THE GUN_, features guest appearances by **Kevin Preston** (_Long Shot, Prima Donna_), **Eddie Spaghetti** (_Supersuckers_), **Clem Burke** (_Blondie_), and **Lee Rocker **(_Stray Cats_). _Day of the Gun_ was recorded over a four-year time frame at Kitten Robot Studios and was produced and mixed by Josie and **Paul Roessler** (_TSOL, The Screamers, Nina Hagan_).   ![Josie Cotton album cover](https://i0.wp.com/mcusercontent.com/f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984/ images/8b1e02c0-447a-00fe-8080-f1f18d30652c.jpg?resize=300%2C300&ssl=1) _**Day of The Gun **_**album cover** [[_**Day of The Gun**_ **Tracklist:** 1. “Circle Dance”2. “The Fathomless Tale of Silky and Sam”3. “Day of the Gun”4. “Overturning”5. “[The Ballad of Elvis Presley](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=886b6fbb21&e=615f2b8493)” 6. “[Ukrainian Cowboy](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=ae36e9267d&e=615f2b8493)” 7. “[Disco Ball](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2023/03/josie-cotton-premieres-brand-new-single-and-1970s-inspired-video-disco-ball/)” 8. “[Painting in Blood](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=8d0667dc0f&e=615f2b8493)” 9. “[Cold War Spy](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=c063659403&e=615f2b8493)” 10. “Too Beautiful”11. “Headlights”12. “Snappy” [**_DAY OF THE GUN_**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=3d62fe9ad7&e=615f2b8493) is available on all streaming platforms now_ _on **Kitten Robot Records. **Physical versions – LP (translucent gold vinyl) Picture Disc vinyl (Limited to 100 via Kitten Robot only) and CDs, as well as specially-priced signed bundles, available here: [https://kittenrobot.com/product/josie-cotton-day-of-the-gun-vinyl-cd/](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=48f36eaf95&e=615f2b8493) **Social Media:[Instagram](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=40f5afd4c3&e=615f2b8493) | [Facebook](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=8a54a20aa6&e=615f2b8493) | [Website](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=c222f53413&e=615f2b8493) | [Spotify](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=5113a2dbfe&e=615f2b8493) ### Share this: * [ Facebook ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/josie-cotton-releases-new-album-day-of-the-gun-painting-in-blood-video-out-now/?share=facebook) * [ X ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/josie-cotton-releases-new-album-day-of-the-gun-painting-in-blood-video-out-now/?share=x) * [ Email ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/josie-cotton-releases-new-album-day-of-the-gun-painting-in-blood-video-out-now/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20JOSIE%20COTTON%20Releases%20New%20Album%20%27Day%20of%20the%20Gun%2C%27%20%22Painting%20In%20Blood%22%20Video%20Out%20Now&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyrdcast.com%2Fjosie-cotton-releases-new-album-day-of-the-gun-painting-in-blood-video-out-now%2F&share=email) * [ LinkedIn ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/josie-cotton-releases-new-album-day-of-the-gun-painting-in-blood-video-out-now/?share=linkedin) * [ Mastodon ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/josie-cotton-releases-new-album-day-of-the-gun-painting-in-blood-video-out-now/?share=mastodon) * [ Nextdoor ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/josie-cotton-releases-new-album-day-of-the-gun-painting-in-blood-video-out-now/?share=nextdoor) * [ Pinterest ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/josie-cotton-releases-new-album-day-of-the-gun-painting-in-blood-video-out-now/?share=pinterest) * [ Reddit ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/josie-cotton-releases-new-album-day-of-the-gun-painting-in-blood-video-out-now/?share=reddit) * [ Tumblr ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/josie-cotton-releases-new-album-day-of-the-gun-painting-in-blood-video-out-now/?share=tumblr) ### Like this: Like Loading… ### _Related_
