Sesame Girl are today announcing the release of their new EP Butterfly Wing In A Silver Locket for released on 7th August, and sharing new single 'Kick In The Teeth'. Given its airplay debut by triple j radio last night, ‘Kick In The Teeth’ is the band’s latest single with Grammy award winning producer Simon Lam (Charli XCX, The Temper Trap, Allday, Armlock). Building on the previously released 'Back to Texas’, 'Superstar', and 'Wings of a Butterfly',Sesame Girl reveal more of the magic they’ve found by reinventing themselves.
“I’ve always been really obsessed with butterflies ever since I was a little kid, and so the title ‘Butterfly Wing in a Silver Locket’ feels very sentimental. A locket to me is also the ultimate accessory of sentimentality, like wearing a photo of someone you love in a necklace? That’s so special,” said vocalist and guitarist Heather Duncan.
“We made this record with our all time favourite producer Simon Lam. While we were recording we were really into the natural, organic texture of sounds like banjo and slide and acoustic guitar. We paired all those with some more gazey and crunchy guitar tones to create something that feels really unique and genuine to us.”
“‘Kick in the Teeth’ is about the experiences that make you feel unlovable. I think it’s a feeling that you get driven to when you’re with someone who won’t commit, who keeps you a secret, or makes you feel like you’re not enough, and I’ve experienced that heaps of times,” said Heather.

Sesame Girl is an Australian alternative indie band originally formed in Ngunnawal Country / Canberra.

Sesame Girl has toured with acts such as MAY-A, Vacations, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, The Belair Lip Bombs and British India, and supported Spacey Jane, Grinspoon, You Am I and Spiderbait alongside playing festivals such as Spilt Milk and Yours and Owls.
Sesame Girl will embark on a five date headline Australian tour in mid-August, playing in Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Sydney, and their home town of Wollongong, ending the run at Bloomfield Music and Arts Festival in Buangla, NSW. View all tour dates HERE.
