An Australian trio from Melbourne, the Folk Bitch Trio has drawn attention for the finesse of its three-part vocal harmonies and an intimate, biting folk songwriting often tinged with humor. This live session, filmed at Fight Night Records in 2022, captures them in a pared-down setting suited to foregrounding the essentials: the voices and the acoustic guitars. A sober live recording, the video conveys the chemistry between Jeanie Pilkington, Gracie Sinclair and Heide Peverelle, whose timbres intertwine with disarming accuracy. Far from any artifice, this set highlights precise songwriting carried by acoustic folk melodies and personal lyrics, in the lineage of the great North American folk harmonies revisited with a contemporary Australian sensibility. The intimacy of the format heightens the emotion and reveals the early maturity of these three musicians, since acclaimed on the international scene. An ideal live concert for fans of acoustic folk, vocal harmonies and delicate songwriting, to be discovered in an openly minimalist recording.
