The Tubs is a Welsh indie rock band from Cardiff that showcases how their lighthearted jangle-pop also ventures into darker and more personal territory on their second album, *Cotton Crown*. On this album, the band expands their sonic palette with a wide range of influences, from soulful pub rock to melancholic sophisto-pop. As Pitchfork noted, The Tubs view jangle as “an immense world full of moods and muses,” and *Cotton Crown* showcases how they continue to explore that world.
