You might remember Bitch – that’ll be one Karen Mould – as one half of Bitch and Animal, the Ani Difranco endorsed queercore duo from the late nineties and early noughties that made a string of intriguing records like What’s That Smell, Eternally Hard and Sour Juice and Rhyme. Then she made a string of solo records as just Bitch, until, in 2010, she went quiet, seemingly lost to the endless difficulties of being an independent artist.
And yet now she’s back with a new more electro fused sound and her fourth post Bitch and Animal record, Bitchcraft – a gold star to whoever coined that title – on the resurgent Kill Rock Stars. I’ve been hammering that record for months now, and so I was obviously going to natter with her for this podcast, should she agree to chat. What follows is less an interview than two people trying to make sense of the mayhem, misery and confusion of the last two years. But with singing. I do some singing, which might well be a first for this here podcast.
(NB: the audio on this episode is a bit... um... there's something weird going on. I think it's perfectly listenable though, and I've done my best to tidy it up!)
