Band name of the week goes to David Cronenberg's Wife with their shambling debut I Couldn't Get off/ My Date With Jenna Bush. This is fun. Extremely Fall-esque sounding wonky lazy sounding indie which brought a smile to my face. That's something which doesn't happen too much anymore. Excellent stuff.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
Tracklisting: (A) I Could’nt Get Off: (B) My Date With Jenna Bush. Debut single from prominent London based Antifolk and underground music scenesters – two DCW tracks already feature on the Billy Childish compilation “Somewhere Between Heaven & Woolworths” (Fortune Teller Records). Big beats and bright psychedelic/surf guitar cut through A side’s warped take on sexual frustration. B side compliments with tale of celebrity stalking and seduction of G W Bush’s daughter set to a moody bass line. Time Out favourites DCW, who originate from Manchester & Bolton, have been regulars on the UK Antifolk roster since 2004, have toured the UK and New York and are prolific performers in the Hoxton/Commercial Road alternative music scene catching the attention of Billy Childish. Frequently described as “back woods folk” DCW captures the dark & moody spirit of late 70’s Manchester and punk pscyo-delia. Lyric subject matter lurks in the places today’s superficial mass media dare not tread. Not for the easily offended!
