Sheffield quartet Sister Wives announce their new album, Heavy Set, out 5 February via Redundant Span Records, alongside lead single ‘Hairless Whisper’.
Composed of Donna Lee (keys/vocals), Rose Love (bass/vocals), Lisa O’Hara (drums/vocals) and Rachael Loomes (guitar/vocals), Sister Wives move towards darker territory on Heavy Set. Lee shares:
“The new songs are about finding an alternative to the shit storm we live in. About finding our own island and escaping, exploding into space or digging deep holes and escaping into the underworld. They’re about removing ourselves from this post-industrial capitalist hell hole.”
‘Hairless Whisper’ is the perfect jumpstart to your week, calling out late-stage capitalism and the pressures of productivity.
“Hairless Whisper as a name just made us laugh but it’s actually about trying to reject the cult of productivity, this dehumanising culture that measures worth through achievement and possession, and how shallow and empty it can feel to try and climb that never-ending ladder. But in spite of ourselves, we keep getting hooked back in and it’s grinding us all down. It’s a call to face yourself and your choices in the void of stillness without all that noise.”
Rose Love
