Gracie Sinclair, Jeanie Pilkington, and Heide Peverelle have joined forces as Folk Bitch Trio. The Australian group, who have opened for King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Alex G, and Julia Jacklin, announced their debut album, Now Would Be A Good Time, after five years of playing together.
“The chemistry of being inspired by each other was evident from the get-go,” Sinclair explained, adding, “We all talked about loving music when we were growing up, and knowing we wanted music to be a big part of our lives. But for me at least, when I looked into the future, it was this relatively mysterious thing.” The mystery is easier to process when performing with Pilkington and Peverelle.
Folk Bitch Trio also released a deceptively powerful new single, “Cathode Ray,” which “expresses a feeling of being trapped in myself, and wanting to break out of that so violently that I’m literally talking about opening up a body viscerally” according to Sinclair. “It’s about frustration, and knowing there’s no cheap thrill that’s going to fix that.”
