A history of violence
David Cronenberg's Wife are one of those bands who creep up on you stealthily. From behind. After dark. With a dirty great bloodied knife. Probably. Somewhere akin to The Fall, the Birthday Party and some really macabre, dark yet sardonic early 20th century Russian poet, their album of last year Bluebeard's Rooms was a psychedelic headfuck of evil hearted anti-pop. That thread continues onto their digital EP out on May 25th, from which this, not unlike a less clattering version of old STN favourites Gindrinker*, is the title track.**

For my money, the B-side "Suicide - Stretch Out" is the clear winner here. Focussing on whether the listener would rather push other people on to train tracks or jump on to them themselves, it's been cheering me up on many a weary commute.
