The Preatures have a new song ‘Girlhood’ that pays homage to Divinyls, Pretenders and The Angels.
The Preatures describe ‘Girlhood’ as “a call-to-arms for young women to become the heroine of their own story.”
According to the band’s label “‘Girlhood’ references Carrie Brownstein from Sleater-Kinney’s memoir Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl – a brutally honest tale of navigating the music biz as a female artist – and the canon of feminist punk. But Izzi and The Preatures translate these concepts into something more playful”.
“I can only speak of my own experiences, I’m not trying to speak for other women,” says singer Izzi Manfredi. “This song is about exploring the contradictions of my own identity.”
The forthcoming album for The Preatures was recorded and produced by Moffitt at their Doldrums studio in Surry Hills, before the band enlisted acclaimed mixing engineer Bob Clearmountain, who has worked with everyone from Bowie and Springsteen to Aussie icons INXS, Divinyls and Crowded House, to give the songs a final spit and polish in LA.
