Folk Bitch Trio – Hotel TV
Folk Bitch Trio —the band of Gracie Sinclair (she/her), Jeanie Pilkington (she/her) and Heide Peverelle (they/them). Today, the Melbourne / Naarm-based group present “Hotel TV,” the final single/video from their debut album, Now Would Be A Good Time, out this Friday via Jagjaguwar.
In celebration of the album’s release, Folk Bitch Trio play Nightclub 101 in Brooklyn tonight and Permanent Records in Los Angeles on Thursday. Later this summer, they will tour the US supporting Whitney, and in the fall, they will tour Canada supporting Foxwarren.
“Hotel TV” follows last month’s “Moth Song.” In keeping with Now Would Be A Good Time’s chronicling of the brutally familiar moments at the end of relationships, “Hotel TV” is a hypnotic, late-night reverie about “having a sex dream about somebody else while next to your partner, and your partner being a liar,” explains Pilkington. At the song’s conclusion, Pilkington sings: “Cause I lay beside him / In the night / And I had a filthy dream / To the noise of the hotel TV.”
Of the song’s video, Pilkington says, “Our vibe check for the music video was dire country town, bored and cheeky, loosely inspired by both our childhoods and what we’ve had to do for fun touring regional Australia.”
