Theresa May, popcorn chicken and bras: it’s the new video from Muncie Girls, ‘Locked Up’

Muncie Girls have dropped another teaser track from their upcoming second album. 

‘Locked Up’ follows on from previous cuts ‘Falling Down’ and ‘Picture of Health’, all taken from ‘Fixed Ideals’, which is set for release on 31st August.

“I’ve never felt like I fit into ‘normal’ life and I often find myself trying to articulate/make sense of it,” Lande Hekt tells Fader. “I wrote a list of a lot of things that I find bizarre and overwhelming about (my version of) society that we’re expected to not only accept, but celebrate. It’s kind of depressing really. It has a lot to do with growing up as well and the horrors of being a weird teenage girl. 

“The line “I can’t be the only one to see the ghost in the room” is in there because my friend said that she’d heard someone say something similar about veganism. The chorus is about how we get trapped by what we don’t question, but it’s also about the prison system and it’s about being claustrophobic, which was in part inspired by my love of the song ‘Franklin Prison Blues’ by Onsind. The guitar riff at the start I came up with when I was listening to a lot of the Replacements.”
