It's something you cry to, it's overly sacred, it's\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esolemnly considered by critic-historians. But Folk Bitch Trio, former\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehigh school friends Heide Peverelle (they\/them), Jeanie Pilkington\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(she\/her) and Gracie Sinclair (she\/her), have a shared sense of humour\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethat is embedded deep in their music, and that sets it alight, safe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efrom the self-serious traps of the genre.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNow Would Be A Good Time, their debut album, tells vivid,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003evisceral stories, and is funny and darkly ironic in the manner of writers\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003elike Mary Gaitskill or Otessa Moshfegh. Their music sounds familiar,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebut the songs are modern, youthful, singing acutely through\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003edissociative daydreams and galling breakups, sexual fantasies and\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003emedia overload, all the petty resentments and minor humiliations of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebeing in your early twenties in the 2020s.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e'Cathode Ray' opens with caution, it's first harmonies\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003earriving in big, looping sighs.

'Hotel\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTV', a hypnotic, late-night reverie, is about 'having a sex dream about\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esomebody else while next to your partner, and your partner being a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eliar,' explains Pilkington.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe strongest link between the trio, aside from friendship, is\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003emusic.

That feeling-of music as an innate calling, as opposed to\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehobby or folly-was justified: Folk Bitch Trio have already toured\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eacross Australia, Europe and the US, supporting bands as disparate as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eKing Gizzard, Alex G and Julia Jacklin.
