about

David Cronenberg's Wife's third album released in 2012 shows the '“dark folk” stalwarts are revelling in evil again... Warped sexuality (predominantly male) is a recurring theme with the band’s frontman Tom Mayne. His songs on this album sung “in character” in the first person, are hard-hitting, shocking, harrowing even, like some gritty Shane Meadows social drama, but the music would surely lose its edginess if it relied on shock value alone. Mayne sneers like some half-crazed Tim Burgess or Mark E. Smith, the vocals often deliberately distorted, and the band play with the same sort of dark intensity as The Creeps or The Fall, a sinister-sounding bass only adding to all the evil on show here... it doesn’t pull any moral punches. Any humour is the darkest imaginable, there are certainly no Jarvis Cocker-type” awkward sexual encounters” in the events unfurling before our ears. Mayne has wisely made it clear in interviews and press releases that the songs aren’t meant to condone or glamorise the behaviour of his characters. These people are depraved, pure and simple. Worryingly, the tunes are catchy enough to sing along to and there’s actually nowhere to hide as the songs draw you in." (Matthew Haddrill, Line Of Best Fit)

In his search for the 3 keys to life, Jack Medley lost the keys to the lock up, so while he, and we, gained spiritually, we lost sight of the merch... Happily, Jules found the keys whilst digging up his latest batch of courgettes at the allotment, leading to a rediscovery of a bounty of Blang Stuff.
