“‘PURE’ is a song about positively owning ones’ dark side, ones’ shadow and integrating the anima and animus,” the band say. “Embracing our animal instincts, especially as womxn. In a world where womxn have been historically and culturally pushed into a box of sexual purity, goodness and obedience – this song is a protest against the saying ‘women should be seen and not heard’. Pure is an anthem for womxn to step into their power, not be ashamed to speak their mind and own their darker, unhinged, animalistic and traditional masculine side.”

Musically, ‘PURE’ blends Motown beats, Riot Grrrl chorus’s and a mixture of PJ Harvey influenced guitars with the energy of the classic wall of sound and chopped up vocal parts. Written and produced by The Pearl Harts, PURE was recorded at The Park Studios with long-term collaborator Tobin Jones, mixed by Matteo Buccomino and mastered at Air Studios by John Webber.

Blending amped-up punk motifs with booming alt-pop stylings, ‘Hypocritical’ sees the two-piece challenging the perceptions of what it means to be a woman making rock music and relishing the freedom. Spirited and sardonic in equal measure, it’s a playful power-pop anthem with a bitter sting in its tail. As The Pearl Harts explain:

“’Hypocritical’ is a bratty, fun, scream-a-long song, influenced by the hi-octane pop of Miley Cyrus and Gwen Stefani with the punk attitude of ‘Impeach My Bush’-era Peaches. It’s an empowerment song for women and girls taking on the world.”

The Pearl Harts say that ‘More’ is a sassy, sexy, post-ironic stab at the consuming world in which we live in… leaving us asking where, exactly, does “More” stop? Combining garage-infused riffs with modern beat production musically ‘More’ pays homage to the NYC punk sound of the early 80s, 2000’s hip hop beat production and modern pop.

“One can be encouraged to be ‘More You’, to ‘Have More’, ‘Do More’, ‘Expect More’, ‘Be More’ – ‘More’ covers the material, the spiritual, the sexual, and the metaphysical. The amount of ‘More’ is overwhelming–it is like that never ending hamster wheel; where does it end? Where is the satisfaction?” say the duo.

“Interestingly the point we observe is that the people who have the most always feel they are entitled to ‘More’, whereas those who generally feel like they need “More” are told they are too much.”
