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.
