David Cronenberg's Wife is an enigmatic and captivating artist who defies categorization. With a sound that blends elements of post-punk, indie rock, and lo-fi pop, *David Cronenberg's Wife* creates music that is both raw and introspective.

Inspired by a diverse range of influences including The Fall, Pere Ubu, and The Moldy Peaches, *David Cronenberg's Wife* has carved out a unique sonic identity. Their songs are characterized by catchy melodies, witty lyrics, and a sense of irreverence that sets them apart from their contemporaries.

Known for their energetic live performances and charismatic stage presence, *David Cronenberg's Wife* has gained a dedicated following in the underground music scene. Fans of bands such as Fat White Family and Art Brut will find much to love in their music.

david cronenberg's wife really do mix the banal and the extraordinary and although it's rarely scary, hypnagogues can be an unsettling listen (the woozy irish folk of 'in the limo' knocks you off balance) but it can also be a witty humorous affair too! clearly influenced by a multitude of smart-arsed art-rock bands. at any given point you could spot elements of the fall, half man half biscuit, art brut, or the velvet underground in dcw's sound. hell, even bob dylan (jailbird) gets channelled effectively at certain times during hypnagogues. the important thing is, that with one notable exception, david cronenberg's wife is very aware of their influences and manage to make their songs stand on their own rather than stagger around on stolen ideas and pinched riffs.
