Disgusting Sisters release their debut
single 'Killing It', out now on Speedy
Wunderground as part of the Speedy Singles
series.
Less than a year after forming Disgusting Sisters,
the Anglo-French sibling duo and self-appointed
"Gucci Beavis and Butt-Head" arrive enraged and
unhinged with 'Killing It', a song that launches a
middle finger sky-high to unsolicited advice and
judgement. Embracing a healthy nihilistic streak
and a wicked scepticism for the Live, Laugh Love
pack, 'Killing It' lays down a marker for the pair's
witty, blunt dissections of life lived increasingly
under a lens, continually subject to the opinion of
strangers. It's the sound of sisters grinning through
that judgement and laughing all the way to the
afters.
Given early live outings across this summer -
including at Reading and Leeds, Left of the Dial,
Pitchfork Paris and The Great Escape First 50 last
week - 'Killing It' seems destined to soundtrack
basement indie shows and sticky-floored club
nights alike. Disgusting Sisters explain the song
some more: "Killing It is a song about owning your
own life so completely that even if you chose to
wreck it, you're still in control - because in the end,
the personal freedom to live on your own terms is
what really matters."
Inspired by the destructive depravity of Harmony
Korine's Trash Humpers, and Lars von Trier's
provocative 1998 film The Idiots, the song's video
is the perfect visual accompaniment, as the sisters
take their burned out car to a dump on the
outskirts of Paris and smash it to pieces. They're
destroying something, yes, but in turn creating
something new in their own disgusting image.
They're not just killing it on this debut, they're - as
the song goes - "Choking it / Clutching it tight by
the nuts and ripping it... F*** yeah"
