Disgusting Sisters are today sharing 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 & 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"

'Killing It' will be available on 7 inch on 29th November here, including a dub remix B side by Dan Carey, 'Dubbing It'.
