Cotillion

Cotillion is a name used by multiple acts, including a side project by Shiny Toy Guns vocalist Carah Faye in collaboration with producer Spencer Peterson, an indie metal and post-hardcore band from New York, and a Seattle rock and indie group made up of four teenage girls who perform original material.

Carah Faye and Spencer Peterson project

The best-documented Cotillion project is the collaboration between Carah Faye and Spencer Peterson. It begins as a side project and starts during a quiet period in Los Angeles, with the two artists using it as a change of pace from their other work. The project is presented as a way for them to make music that feels like art to them rather than something shaped for an outside audience.

Their sound is influenced by artists such as Bon Iver and Frank Ocean. The collaboration produces a small set of songs that fit together as a coherent body of work.
