Macclesfield alt-rock band Queen Cult release their new single ‘The Hand Lender’. It’s the latest single from their upcoming EP Be Better, out August 2.

High energy from the very first note, the track once again highlights lead singer Maisie Johnson’s gift for telling tongue-in-cheek yet deeply thought-provoking stories through her lyrics that really pack a punch. ‘The Hand Lender’ is a message for sex positivity. It’s about enjoying growth and getting both lost and finding yourself in experiences with other people.

She says, “It’s based around a great sexual connection I had with someone who is gender fluid. It sparked something inadvertently that helped me question my own gender and I found my own definition of being a cis woman. Along with how I like to define relationships with people. It’s sex positive and all about enjoying growth and getting lost in a moment. It’s all about that spontaneity!

“Lyrically, it’s very on the nose and sonically I wanted it to be fun and fast, very much like the situation itself, uncomplicated. A lighthearted ode to the hand lender!”
