Liverpool-based quartet Hannah’s Little Sister have recently signed to British tastemaking label Heist or Hit, and today they deliver their first song since. It’s called “Bin Mouth” and is the perfect introduction to their self-styled ‘junk pop’ sound, with lead vocalist Meg Grooters saying:
“I suppose like a lot of our songs, Bin Mouth is a rant in song form. It’s a song about people who like to chat a lot of rubbish, when really they should just maybe zip it. I wrote it from the frustration of being in the firing line from a lot of gossip and nonsense spewing – but everyone knows a Bin Mouth, and probably everyone has been a bit of Bin Mouth too. It’s about the litterbugs and chattermugs!”
Even if you don’t know what litterbugs and chattermugs are, you’ll easily catch Hannah’s Little Sister’s drift as soon as you listen to the song’s opening crunches, which soon propel you into a take-down of people who just talk endless nonsense (we all know them). The phrase “Bin Mouth” is soon to enter your brain irrevocably and become part of your day-to-day vocabulary, such is the pure infectiousness of the band’s sound, using fun-fair-like synth melodies, exhilarating surges of sound, and childish gang shrieks. That’s not to downplay the foursome’s actual playing, as they display a deadly tightness, interlocking higgledy piggledy guitar, bass, synths and drums while maintaining the back and forth vocal energy in a combination that is truly enlivening and rejuvenating.
You can find “Bin Mouth” on streaming platforms or watch the video below, which does a bit more building of the world of Hannah’s Little Sister, with 90 seconds of introductory goofiness before they launch into the song itself.
Hopefully there will be more to come from Hannah’s Little Sister in the near future, in the meantime follow them on Bandcamp, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
