Petrol Girls have announced their third album, 'Baby'

Petrol Girls have announced the details for their third album, 'Baby'.

Set to arrive on 24th June via Hassle Records, the news comes alongside a brand new track, 'Clowns'.

Vocalist Ren Aldridge explains: "'Clowns' really showcases the vibe & musical direction of a lot of the record. It’s playful, a bit unhinged and built on a repetitive riff. It was so much fun to write together.”

‘Clowns’ - according to a press release - began with a lot of comedic placeholders riffing on ‘Stuck in the Middle With You’ by Stealers Wheel (“We are the clowns from the left / But they ain’t joking on the right”) that ended up staying in. “I was like, wait a minute, I can actually just rewrite these lyrics and make them fit this with a political twist on it,” Aldridge laughs. “It started off as a joke, but I do actually think there’s political weight to what I'm trying to say there.”

You can check out the new single, and a live session of the band performing the track at Middle Farm Studios, as filmed by Martyna Bannister, below.
