Folk Bitch Trio—Gracie Sinclair, Jeanie Pilkington, and Heide Peverelle—are celebrated for their enchanting three-part harmonies that captivate audiences in Naarm/Melbourne. What began as a playful collaboration among friends has evolved into a promising act that has shared stages with notable artists such as King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Alex G, Julia Jacklin, and Courtney Barnett. Their sound blends relaxed indie-folk with an assured depth, stemming from their "mutual love for songwriting and truth-telling."
Their latest single, “God’s A Different Sword,” follows previous releases “Analogue” and “I Heard,” the latter of which Rolling Stone described as “resplendent in gorgeous harmonies and confessional songwriting.” This new track reflects themes of breaking patterns while indulging in them just one more time. Produced by the trio and Tom Healy during a brief stop in Auckland while supporting Ben Howard, the song features instrumentation that is both optimistic and open, perfectly complementing the exasperated and questioning lyrics.
The accompanying music video, crafted by their friend Bridgette Winten, showcases the trio exploring their beloved Naarm, the birthplace of this vibrant song.
Folk Bitch Trio —Gracie Sinclair (she/her), Jeanie Pilkington (she/her) and Heide Peverelle (they/them)—are known for enrapturing audiences around their home city of Naarm/Melbourne with sensitive and thoughtful arrangements of three part harmony. What began as an unserious collaboration between three friends has led the trio to share stages with acts such as King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Alex G, Julia Jacklin and Courtney Barnett. The trio manifest a unique kinesiology of relaxed indie-folk with a quietly confident, assured underbelly. Born out of what they describe as a "mutual love for songwriting and truth-telling," most significant to their rise and consistently captivating to their craft is the joy they take in making music together — it surges with the power of friends and collaborators executing a unified vision. Their brand new single “God’s A Different Sword” follows on from the 2023 released singles “Analogue” and “I Heard”, which Rolling Stone described as “resplendent in gorgeous harmonies and confessional songwriting”, and a triumphant run of shows at SXSW earlier this year. The trio explain, “‘God’s A Different Sword’ speaks to relinquishing a pattern, but indulging in the habit ‘just one more time’. The song was produced by us and Tom Healy during a fleeting stop in Auckland, Aotearoa this winter, while we were in town supporting Ben Howard. The lyrics are exasperated and questioning, so we wanted them to be held by instrumentation that is optimistic and open. The video, made by our dear friend Bridgette Winten, shows us gallivanting around our stomping grounds in Naarm, where this song was written and born.”
