My Sex by The FMs
We have talked about wanting to record a cover but couldn't agree on one until we decided to go with "My Sex" by Ultravox. This song both hits home for us. It explores the versatile nature of "sex/gender", something that wasn't mainstream at that time when it came out in ’77. We decided to go in a less traditional route in terms of covering this song. Each verse is tailored to our own personal connections with the original lyrics.
The FMs are a bastion of queer music. Formed in 2017 by Matte Namer (they/them) and Frankie Rex (they/he), who met in high school in New York City, the Brooklyn-bred band exudes subversion with style (and of course, sex), rethinking long-standing societal programming, and the rebellion of simply being one’s authentic self all through their politically charged pop missives.
