Sister Wives share ‘Ticking Time Bomb’, a song about a woman’s biological clock

Inspired by Welsh mythology, thread throughout a cavernous mix of psychedelia, folk, post-punk, garage and 70s glam rock, Sister Wives recently announced their debut album will be released on October 28 via Libertino Records, sharing first single and video ‘Greater Place’. Now, the band share new single ‘Ticking Time Bomb’ – a track which sees them react to the societal pressure to bear a child; the ticks mirroring the biological clock.

The track’s simmering verses give way to a lively, electric hook; it’s simultaneously a protest song and a party song that celebrates freedom and choice. “We wanted to expose the absurdity of having our bodies and choices so heavily monitored and managed by society, and laugh in the face of it,” the band explain. “We know our worth isn’t changed by child bearing, we are not disposable or “geriatric” after age 35, and we refuse to partake in the shaming of ourselves or others for our/their choices. And we deserve autonomy over our bodies, always!”
