Irish post punkers M(h)aol released their new album Attachment Styles on February 3rd via TULLE Collective and Rough Trade Publishing. We previously shared “Therapy” and “Asking For It” and today return to share the closing anthem “Period Sex.”
The track takes an uneasy topic and puts that feeling into a musical format that is a completely atmospheric primal journey that captures the raw and taboo nature of the matter and delivers a chugging juggernaut of a track that closes the album out in an epic fashion.
Singer Róisín Nic Ghearailt says of the song:
Prior to writing the track I’d had a lot of eye-opening conversations around period shame with people of all genders and from all walks of life, and I wanted to write almost an anthem for everyone who had ever had a period or loved someone who had one. It felt like a hugely powerful thing to be in a position to create a song as a band that was unequivocally sexy. I’m a cis bisexual woman in a queer, sapphic relationship. Periods and period sex are a part of my reality, and my girlfriend actually helped me with the lyrics in the first verse.
You can find the entire album available to stream/buy at Bandcamp and “Period Sex” available to stream now below.
