Anti-folk anti-heroes David Cronenberg’s Wife releases their splendid fifth album Department of Biology via the ever-wonderful Blang Records earlier this year, and we’re delighted to offer you the first chance to see the video for the record’s latest single.
‘If You Think About It’, is one of the gentler tracks on the album, standing out amongst its often sordid and macabre counterparts with its softly sparkling guitars, lolling bass line and hushed vocal musing on life, love and nostalgia; taking in Belarusian punks, immortality and eating peaches with pepper along the way.
It’s released on 12th November, but you can hear it today on Joyzine, accompanied a video which finds frontman Tom Mayne wandering blindfolded around a somewhat run down manor house.
The single comes out in the run-up to DCW’s annual anti-folk fest all-dayer at The Windmill, Brixton (details and tickets here) and the band will be out on tour in the new year with the following shows confirmed for January:
20th – Centrala, Birmingham TICKETS
21st – Le Pub, Newport TICKETS
22nd – Old England, Bristol
23rd – CWRW, Carmarthen
24th – Common Ground, Oxford TICKETS
25th – Dash the Henge, Camberwell, London (Independent Venue Week) – Free instore show
