Be Your Own Pet have announced their first album in 15 years, titled Mommy, which will be out August 25 via Third Man. “Mommy is the bitch in charge, the one in control,” says singer Jemima Pearl. “It’s a reclamation of myself.”
The album includes recent single “Hand Grenade,” and they’ve just shared “Worship the Whip,” a fun, snarling, garage punk stormer that comes with a video that underlines the song’s theme with a leather-clad Pearl. You can watch that below.
Be Your Own Pet are still a force live, and have also announced a fall tour which includes a Brooklyn show at Elsewhere Hall on October 21. Tickets for all dates of the tour go on sale Friday, June 2 at 10 AM local time. All dates are listed below.
