London’s anti pop heroes David Cronenberg’s Wife have just made a video for the devilishly sinister Hammer Horror inspired ‘The Pied Piper of Maidenhead’, which is taken from their album ‘Don’t Wait To Be Hunted To Hide’. Watch it below. They promise the new record is ‘a musical Brothers Grimm for the modern age.’
They have two forthcoming London gig dates on November 28th at the Buffalo Bar and December 13th at the Lock Tavern.
LONDON SHOWS
Weds 28 Nov – ALBUM LAUNCH The Buffalo Bar
Thurs 13 Dec – The Lock Tavern, with support from Tom Hickox
Emerging from London’s anti-folk scene, they released their debut ‘Bluebeard’s Rooms’ in 2008 followed by Hypnagogues in 2009. Both albums showed a band unafraid of exploring the dark side.
Their forthcoming third album, ‘Don’t Wait to Hunted to Hide’, will challenge even their biggest fans confronting head-on as it does the subject of (often male) evil and warped sexuality.
“The new album is very dark but that’s always been part of David Cronenberg’s Wife. The themes in the album present problems and they are hard to listen to but I’ve always liked that kind of art that takes a difficult issue and tries to explore it. I would hope that people listening to the album would see that this is not condoning these actions, but I don’t think anything should be off-limits when it comes to creative work.” – Tom Mayne, David Cronenberg’s Wife.
