Petrol Girls announce new album "Baby"

Petrol Girls announced their third album “Baby” today, which will be released June 24th via Hassle Records (Cargo). The announcement follows the release of their pro-choice-banger “Baby, I Had An Abortion” and the single “Fight For Our Lives” (only available on Bandcamp), a track that honors the global movement against femicide and gender-specific violence. Both tracks will be on the upcoming record.

Another taste of “Baby” is the new single “Clowns”. It comes with a live video that the band recorded in the Middle Farm studios (filmed by Martyna Bannister), where the album was recorded with producer Pete Miles.

Singer Ren Aldrige about the song:

“”Clowns” really shows the mood and the musical orientation of the majority of the album. The song is playful, a little bit weird and is built on a recurring riff. It was so much fun to write the track together. “Clowns” began with a lot of comedic placeholders, which allude to “Stuck In the Middle With You” from Stealer Wheel (“We are the clowns from the left/ But they ain’t joking on the right”) and eventually stayed. “I though, wait a minute, i can rewrite those lyrics and provide them with a political twist”, Aldrige laughs. “It started as a joke, but I think, that my message also has a political meaning.”

“Baby” can be pre-ordered HERE.
