Evie Bamford calls out work culture with a loose anti-hustle anthem
Evie Bamford arrives with a confidently formed debut single. “Money Bag” brings indie rock grit and jazzy colour together with a looseness that suits its message. The track takes aim at the weight of work, pressure, and expectation while keeping its shoulders relaxed.
Recorded live on a farm in Matakana with engineer Ally Doe, the song carries the warmth of musicians playing in the same room. Vintage keys glow through the mix. Trumpet lines spark with character. The rhythm section keeps everything steady and unforced. Bamford’s guitar and voice sit in the middle with a tone that keeps the track grounded.
The lyrics poke at the grind many young people live inside. They frame work culture through wry understatement and a kind of tired humour. The chorus downplays the hold that money and time have on our lives, even as the arrangement hints at the tension underneath.
“Money Bag” channels frustration into something warm, loose, and quietly rebellious. It offers an early look at an artist who knows how to turn pressure into charm and make critique feel effortless.
