About Wotts
Wotts is an indie pop duo from Ottawa, Canada, composed of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Jayem and bassist and guitarist Ricky 100. The band has been active for two years, gaining recognition for their eclectic sound and energetic performances.

Jayem's production skills shine through, blending post-punk elements with the duo's signature indie pop style.
Song Themes and Influences
Drawing inspiration from post-punk and indie bands like Fontaines D.C. and The Horrors, "Laundry" dives into themes of personal introspection and societal observations. Jayem explains, "Bands like The Smiths and Fontaines D.C. have impacted us a lot. There are elements in this song that make it 'us,' but we felt the time was right to give some love to a genre that brings us so much happiness."
While "Laundry" explores new sonic territories, it also retains the familiar psych-pop touches that fans have come to love.
Ricky 100 adds, "There's so much music from over there that’s impacted us over the years. It was only a matter of time before that influence made its way into our tracks."
Upcoming Plans
With "Laundry" setting the tone for their upcoming EP, Good People, Bad People, Wotts is gearing up for a busy summer.

Additionally, they are beginning to record their first full-length album, promising a wealth of new music for their fans.
Jayem expresses their excitement, saying, "We got the EP coming out this summer, and we’ll be starting to dip our toes into the world of music videos. On top of all that, we’re starting to record our first full-length record. So here’s hoping people aren’t growing tired of us because we got lots more on the way and we’ve never been more excited."
Conclusion
Wotts' new single "Laundry" is a testament to their growth and willingness to explore new musical landscapes. By blending post-punk influences with their indie pop roots, Wotts delivers a track that is both fresh and familiar. As they prepare for the release of their EP and embark on new creative ventures, fans can expect an exciting and dynamic year ahead for this talented duo.
