Folk Bitch Trio—comprised of Gracie Sinclair, Heide Peverelle, and Jeanie Pilkington write with a raw clarity that feels both tender and unflinching. With voices that slip between tenderness and bite, their music circles themes of desire, care, disillusionment, and identity.

Performing ‘Hotel TV’ for Live at Phoenix—the track moves with warm melodies, ethereal harmonies, and the group’s signature acerbic lyricism. Written in the haze of sleep deprivation during a hotel stop in Brisbane, the song traces a moment of emotional drift—the slow realisation that something in a relationship may be coming undone. Its imagery draws on the hum of late-night television and the surreal stillness of a nondescript country motel, evoking the quiet ache of uncertainty.

Directed by Stephanie Jane Day, the film captures each member in soft crossfades, layering each intimate moment with warm, dreamy imagery. Their voices and guitars wind around one another with instinctive grace, while timbral textures drift like breath—delicate, always on the verge of dissolving.

Their debut album ‘Now Would Be A Good Time’ is out now via Jagjaguwar.
