MM Shorts 270: New Single From Kam Kama

We posted about Kam Kama right at the beginning of the year, enthusing about their sinewy mix of guitars and queasy vocals and they have returned with a new 7″ single Passer By / Joseph Stride, which sees a release on the 11th December. A new drummer provides a slightly different, leaner sound although the same economical, almost sparse songcraft remains. Take a listen to the … Continue reading MM Shorts 270: New Single From Kam Kama

David Cronenberg’s Wife Release Don’t Wait To Be Hunted To Hide

David Cronenberg’s Wife first crossed our radar when we heard the brilliantly skewed-folk drone of My Date With Jenna Bush from their debut long player Bluebeard’s Room. A wonderful combination of contempt, slyness, black humour and barbed viciousness – we loved it. So we have been waiting eagerly for the release of their latest full length, Don’t Wait To Be Hunted To Hide, which seems to … Continue reading David Cronenberg’s Wife Release Don’t Wait To Be Hunted To Hide
