Bitch Announces Live Shows and Album Release Date
Title Track MP3 Revealed with VIBE Today!
“On stage, the violinist/vocalist is a force to be reckoned with.” ~ Flavorpill
“Bitch is an indie hero known for her fierce fiddling and political fire.” ~ Time Out, NY

“Renaissance woman…” ~ Windy City Times, Chicago
“A wild-spirited breed of folk troubadour…” ~ Decider, Austin
Bitch is thrilled to announce her new full-length album In Us We Trust, an indie-electro rock collaboration with Billie Jo (Alligator) fused together by electric violin & chaotic energy. Having learned classical violin at the age of 4, Bitch studied fiddling with Andrew Bird and expanded her musical experimentation horizons. She released her first solo record Make This/Break This with legendary label Kill Rock Stars, and will release In Us We Trust produced by Roger Paul Mason July 16 on her own Short Story Records.
With a shift in location came a shift in sound. Bitch left behind the busy city landscape to record in a secluded log cabin in Michigan. Such serenity bred the courage to write the way she performs, as an extrovert. Sonically, In Us We Trust breathes the energy of the city; the simultaneous hope and despair, the bitter edge, humor and power of human gathering.
“Ibuprofen” is an anthemic break-up song featuring a biting rap chorus and distorted vocal layers. Lyrically moody & contradictory “O, Packaging” reveals a lighter side with lush choruses and twinkling xylophone while the soulful strings change things up on growling bluesy number “Love Was A River.” Title track “In Us We Trust” is a bass-driven, synth heavy track about self-reflection and unity. Download the “In Us We Trust” MP3 HERE or where it premiered with VIBE today!
