Folk Bitch Trio—the Melbourne/Naarm-based band of Gracie Sinclair (she/her), Jeanie Pilkington (she/her) and Heide Peverelle (they/them)—present ‘Hotel TV,’ the final single/video from their debut album, Now Would Be A Good Time, out this Friday via Jagjaguwar.
‘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.”
