Followed by their sophomore album Shy At First (2025) and their third album Something We All Got (2026) on Carpark Records. The group have been described as part of the laptop twee movement by Pitchfork. The group began as a creative outlet for singer and bassist Anita Foul and singer and guitarist Nolan Jakupovskil. In 2022, they released their debut album Stupid Is As Stupid Does. In 2025, the group released their second full-length album Shy at First on The Cooked Raw Label. That same year they signed to Carpark Records and later released their third studio album Something We All Got in 2026. In March 2026, writing for Pitchfork, music journalist Jude Noel described Cootie Catcher as "Working in the vein of 'laptop twee' acts like friends& and Worldpeace DMT, who fuse the genre-smashing maximalism promised by hyperpop with the whimsical optimism of ’00s buzz bands". Something We All Got was longlisted for the 2026 Polaris Music Prize. Stylized in lowercase Gargano, Jason. "Sound Advice: Cootie Catcher brings new album tour from Canada to Cincinnati".
