Folk Bitch Trio are sharing a taste of their forthcoming album Now Would Be A Good Time, out July 25th via Jagjaguwar, with single/video, “Moth Song,” the track follows their previous single “Cathode Ray.” The trio includes, Gracie Sinclair, Jeanie Pilkington, and Heide Peverelle.

In Sinclair’s words, the song is about “being so spun out by everything that you feel like you’re delusional and hallucinating crazy things.” They sing, “I see twin birds when I think of you most times / And opals fill my eyes, I guess / I wanted more from / What I saw.” The song forms the album’s sparse centerpiece, with Anita Clark’s undulating violin part drifting in and out of focus as if from a dream. The accompanying visualizer was edited by the band from a behind the scenes video from the recording of the album.

The songs on Now Would Be A Good Time were workshopped on tour and written specifically with their shared connection in mind. Recording in Auckland with Tom Healy (Tiny Ruins, Marlon Williams) during winter 2024, the band built out these songs with minimalist, idiosyncratic arrangements, and, with voices and guitar taking center stage, recorded to tape as the final missing thread in bringing the album to life.

The strongest link between the trio, aside from friendship, is music. “We all talked about loving music when we were growing up, and knowing we wanted music to be a big part of our lives,” says Pilkington. “But for me at least, when I looked into the future, it was this relatively mysterious thing.”

Folk Bitch Trio have already toured across Australia, Europe and the US, supporting bands as disparate as King Gizzard, Alex G and Julia Jacklin.
The band will play select headline shows in the US this summer: New York on Tuesday, July 22nd, and Los Angeles on Thursday, July 24th. On the heels of these shows, they will support Whitney on their US summer tour.
