“My pride’s a riot, it’s not a parade,” Grace sings during this anthem of acceptance that follows the release of ‘Active Trauma,’ ‘Mine Me Mine’ and ‘Your God (God’s D*ck)’, a bold and fearless song that continues to test the new right’s alleged devotion to free speech and double standard of gender constructs. Watch the music video for ‘Wearing Black’ directed by Emily Esperanza below.

A stomping number about recognizing that you can never outrun the past — even if, as Grace half-jokes, you actually run to attempt just that — ‘Active Trauma’ suggests that you may be able to overpower it, to “burn this house to the fucking ground.”

“10 years ago I started getting tattooed by a Japanese tattoo artist named Gakkin,” Grace says. “I traveled all around the world getting the work done literally starting with my feet and ending with getting my head tattooed in Amsterdam in July of 2022. At the end of our session, Gakkin gifted me a hand-painted Gretsch guitar, covered in beautiful, intricate, swirling design. I took the guitar back to my hotel room and immediately wrote ‘Birds Talk Too’. The lyrical references are all Amsterdam: Schipol is the airport, Rookies is my favourite cannabis cafe and Champagne Haze is my favourite strain.”
