Cots is the debut solo project by Canadian composer, singer, and guitarist Steph Yates. "Disturbing Body" is the first single and title-track of a forthcoming 10-song record produced by renowned Toronto musician Sandro Perri. Borrowing elements of bossa nova, folk, jazz, and classical, Yates’s subtly unconventional composition style and poetics are at work here in a hushed and more naked voice. The sounds and images of Cots are familiar the way dreams and shadows are; there appear strange landscapes, the vague outlines of former lovers, a quiet queerness, the feeling of motion. These are songs of closeness and aloneness.
Yates's former projects include Esther Grey, Cupcake Ductape, and French Perfume.
