Lambrini Girls have shared their anthemic new single ‘Body Of Mine’.
“If my gender is so radical / I’d rather be invisible / If I can never fit the mould / Call me the punchline / But when I identify / I’m the butt of the joke” sings Phoebe Lunny while speaking out about gender identity over a pounding bass line and crisp guitar riff.
Speaking of the track in a press release, Lunny and bassist Lilly Macieira said: “While many of our songs are critiques of societal issues, ‘Body of Mine’ is a little more personal. This song is about trying to connect to your gender identity, feeling like you’re not fully yourself, and struggling to figure out how to truly become it.”
They continued: “Gender is a complex experience, we acknowledge that this song represents just one perspective among many, of not knowing where you fit inside it all. It’s tough to feel that nobody really gets you and it’s also truly quite shit when you don’t really know how to understand yourself either.”
‘Body Of Mine’ – recorded with Gilla Band’s Daniel Fox will be released on a special limited edition 7″ purple pressing that will include their song ‘God’s Country’ as well. The pressing is limited to a run of 700 and can be pre-ordered here.
The Brighton punk duo have also announced their biggest headline set to date at London’s SCALA on June 13 with opening support from CLT DRP and Sulk.
They will also embark on a North American headlining tour later this summer as well as serving as opening for Amyl & The Sniffers on a handful of their US dates.
The duo will also perform at festivals such as Wide Awake, 2000 Trees, Reading & Leeds Festivals, Green Man, Manchester Psych Fest, have just been announced for Glastonbury, and will support IDLES at their sold-out Alexandra Palace shows.

In other news, Lambrini Girls have recently dropped out of this year’s edition of The Great Escape.
Speaking about their decision not to play the festival, Lambrini Girls issued a statement saying: “We will not be appearing at The Great Escape festival this year. This is a targeted approach of a cultural boycott, considering Barclays sponsorship.
“Barclays provide financial services of over £1BN pounds to companies supplying military technology and weapons to the IDF, perpetuating the horrors unfolding in Gaza.”
