WIVES 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: There's something decidedly contemporary and on-trend about Wives, despite a raucous and heavy trademark sound steeped in vintage indie-rock and garage-rock influences (think grunge, Pixies and Velvet Underground for starters). The New York quartet seem to have captured the zeitgeist for a whole new generation, in part thanks to on-point lyrics that primarily deal with anxiety and dread. As a number of reviewers have pointed out, the songs showcased on this quietly impressive debut album tread a fine line between fact and fiction, drawing on personal experience while creating narratives that many below the age of 40 can relate to. Yet musically, there's plenty of a slightly older generation to relate to, making them a particularly exciting prospect.
