Coterie Manifest Best Season Yet with Summer Hit ‘Pretty Gyal’
Coterie are back with brand new summer anthem Pretty Gyal, out now thanks to NZ on Air. Would it really be summer without a sizzling hit from the band of brothers? Accompanying the track is a charismatic visualiser, encapsulating their infectious personalities. Landing just in time for a season of salty days, the reggae infused hook embodies the feeling of chilling seaside. The track was written by the Coterie alongside renowned producer Josh Fountain (Leisure, BENEE) and mixed by Simon Gooding (P!nk, TEEKS, Balu Brigada) – serving as a fresh taste of what’s to come in 2026.
Speaking of the track, the band say;
“Wave 2 is in session & Pretty Gyal is our first break – so feel the salt on ya sunkissed skin! We wrote this one in the back of a tour van, coast to coast, Whangaz to Mangaz! So roll the windows down & turn it to 11, summers back.. so ya boys are too”
Immersed in a world of surf and art, Coterie have crafted a unique blend of soulful rock-reggae music, elevated by impeccable four-part harmonies that will have you begging for more. In 2022, the brothers Tyler, Josh, Brandford & Conrad (Te Aupouri, Ngāpuhi & Ngāi Te Rangi) burst onto the New Zealand music scene with 2x Platinum hit Cool It Down, skyrocketing to #1 on the Radioscope NZ airplay chart. The band went on to release their widely popular Platinum debut self-titled album in December that year. Coterie have embarked on numerous sold-out tours across Australia & New Zealand, their live shows harnessing a lifetime of musical connection that evokes feelings that only 15 years of playing together can create.
