Brighid Fry (she/they) is the brains behind Canadian based indie pop (and buffaBLOG frequent – see here and here) act Housewife. “Matilda” is the latest track fresh off the Girl Of The Hour EP and it’s well worth a listen. Falling somewhere into the bedroom pop or alt-pop genre, you’ll have a good time here if you enjoy acts like Clairo or Men I Trust.   The song itself has an interesting backstory worth getting emotionally invested in – see below:   “Matilda was inspired by my bike getting stolen a couple years ago. I was an avid cyclist for years and really loved that bike (and had nicknamed it Matilda). I remember a while after it got stolen, I was out on a day that was perfect biking weather and just getting hit with how much I miss cycling. Obviously, the song isn’t just about a bike, but also[...]

Housewife, the project of Brighid Fry (she/they), brings us their latest single with “Divorce.” We previously covered Housewife here and, much like then, we love what’s happening. Fry does a fantastic job of building up; playing off of the guitar and drums with her vocals and giving everything enough time to percolate/crescendo… and then falling back to leave us wanting for more.

The rest of the EP is well worth the listen -specifically the aforementioned “Life of the Party” as well as “I Lied.”  

“Life Of The Party” is the latest from Canada based Housewife, the project of Brighid Fry (she/they). Written about about the difference between how people perceive how your life is versus how it actually is, “Life Of The Party” bubbling over with poppy beats and some dank synth (second track this week with the *perfect* amount). Fry’s vocals mesh well with the drums and bass; which aren’t so much driving the track but are in a quirky throuple relationship with the aforementioned synth. Fry’s voice manages to be airy in the beginning and maintains that, yet gradually crescendos through the track. Check out “Life Of The Party” music video below from YouTube or over the audio on Spotify. I would have recommended the Soundcloud link but if you’re in the USA, for some reason it doesn’t want to play there. We’ll forgive it though since we’re neighbors and these things[...]
