Hannah’s Little Sister
Liverpool quartet Hannah’s Little Sister announce debut EP ‘EP.mp3’, out November 20th via Heist or Hit, and share chaotic anti-capitalist call-to-arms single ‘Gum’.
Featuring restive rhythms, giddy synths and manic vocals blend together to create a psychedelic junk-pop which finds a clarity in the anti-establishment message delivered be vocalist Meg Grooters who explains: “Gum is another sort of rant (oops!) about consumerism and how it’s constantly distracting us from ourselves and from the state of our society/country/government/world etc. - all of the things!.
I wrote it to remind myself there’s a difference between what I want and need, and what I’m being told or shown I should want or need. We’re encouraged by the Big Boys in power to become addicted to materialistic things and social media, because it’s a great way of keeping us under control as a society that continues to put money in a small number of very rich people’s pockets.
Whether it’s social media, new trends, cool clothes or whatever, they are vices pushed upon us that keep us pretty mind numbed and depressed. Yet we cling on to them in the false belief that these things can provide us with greater happiness or status, and help us climb up the socioeconomic ladder.”
