The Cribs are back with a brand new single, video and most importantly a decidedly swift right turn in new musical direction, seemingly throwing away their angry, angular, raspy & all together punk sound for a more genteel croon.
The band who have just played a handful of shows in the US, including a main stage showing at this year’s Lollapalooza, celebrated their label Wichita’s tenth anniversary with a sweaty appearance at The Garage, wooed and wowed the crowds at Fuji Rock and set to hit the main stage at the upcoming Reading / Leeds festival later this month… they decided last minute to release ‘Housewife’ because they wanted to!
Recorded at Edwyn Collins’ West Heath studio whilst working on new material, ‘Housewife’ will be a surprise to many and by the time you’re reading this will have been aired on national radio and available on iTunes.
You can check out the track below, or grab yourself a limited edition 7″ from Wichita here.
