Sister Wives – “Hairless Whisper”

Sheffield four piece Sister Wives take a heavier turn for their new single, dipping into the darkness for a fuzzed psych growler on “Hairless Whisper.” With a growl of guitars and a drape of doom, the cut finds them wandering much closer to Dead Meadow and Black Angels territory than the rhythmic pulse of their last album. The doom hides a hint of stillness, though, tackling the constant craving for self-promotion and an inability to take comfort in calm. Vocalist Rose Love expands on the song’s themes: “Hairless Whisper as a name just made us laugh but it’s actually about trying to reject the cult of productivity, this dehumanising culture that measures worth through achievement and possession, and how shallow and empty it can feel to try and climb that never-ending ladder. But in spite of ourselves, we keep getting hooked back in and it’s grinding us all down. It’s a call to face yourself and your choices in the void of stillness without all that noise.” The new record, Heavy Set, is out February 5th from Redundant Span
