Folk Bitch Trio are pushing their sonic boundaries even further, announcing an expansive world tour running from September to November. Their new single and video, ‘God’s A Different Sword,’ is out now, adding another layer to their ever-evolving sound.
The creative alchemy of Gracie Sinclair (she/her), Jeanie Pilkington (she/her), and Heide Peverelle (they/them) finds its sweet spot where grounded, beyond-their-years storytelling meets the intricate, atmospheric layers of Grizzly Bear or The Japanese House. With ‘God’s A Different Sword,’ Folk Bitch Trio continue their rise, showcasing the resplendent three-part harmonies that have become the hallmark of their enduring collaboration.
‘God’s A Different Sword’ speaks to relinquishing a pattern but indulging in the habit ‘just one more time’. The song was produced by us and Tom Healy during a fleeting stop in Auckland, Aotearoa this winter, while we were in town supporting Ben Howard. The lyrics are exasperated and questioning, so we wanted them to be held by instrumentation that is optimistic and open. The video, made by our dear friend Bridgette Winten, shows us gallivanting around our stomping grounds in Naarm, where this song was written and born.”

Folk Bitch Trio’s world tour is nothing short of ambitious, kicking off with a string of UK and European dates, including gigs with The Teskey Brothers and Cat Clyde, capped by a headlining show in London. From there, they’ll hit the road with M. Ward for a support run across the U.S., before returning to Australia for an extensive headlining tour.
