London experimental five-piece return for more anarchic genre-blending adventures. 

London experimental five-piece Housewives return for more anarchic genre-blending adventures with their new single 'Speak To Me'; A synthesized collage written in Wetherspoons, cafes and anywhere away from their houseboats where they could find an electrical supply. 

Exploring the possibilities of electronic sound, with dead-behind-the-eyes chanting, this latest snippet of things to come marks a turning point for the band who sold their guitars to buy midi equipment and swapped London rents for houseboat living. 

Using huge live drums, saccharine vocal samples, pulsating sub bass and mechanically entwined guitar lines; 'Speak to Me' is a sign of the bands’ new direction with a constantly evolving sound, creating an anxiety and tightness that assumes the feeling of a knot in the stomach, or a strained smile. 

The band describe it as 'a love song of frustration and sensitivity through the eyes of a victim of the isolation of modern life. Quiet but not shy, voiceless, seething, dumb and in love'. 

In the video, created by the band and our in-house art department, we're transported into a manifestation of the inescapable digital experience of our everyday lives and its effect on our psyche. The thin layer of perceptible reality is constantly disrupted via the breaking of the digital facade. 



Speak to me 
your nice talk 
use your hands to help me 
your voice washes over 
lost in conversation 
I am in my own world 
I stand in the corner 
I am in my own world 
only an observer 
reel around the gas light 
your voice makes my eyes moist 
I feel awful fragile 
don’t look at the carpet 
I’ve done nothing recent 
nothing worth the paper 
nothing good and Godly 
like thin discs of wafer 
it will come unto me

LIMITED CASSETTE ALBUM

THE MOLDS - SALTINE - 03 APLHA

A haunted scene 
Ghosts surround me 
They’re all I see 
This waking dream 
Is sure to last 
Repeats the past 
Entrapped in glass 
But I move fast 
By moving slow 
Taking it slow 
Hear my echo 
It’s way down low 
That’s where I go 

Cause I'm healing 
Leave those feelings 
While I'm floating 
Down a river of water carrying ice 

I did the math 
There is no path 
Don't even ask 
Let out a laugh 
When the same sun 
Burns for no one 
Grew up undone 
Nobody won 
My fragile state 
The paper weight 
And to this date 
Blinded by fate 
We are still late 

Cause I'm healing 
Leave those feelings 
While I'm floating 
Down a river of water carrying ice 

This resonance 
Is never gone 
A revenant 
Until dawn 
A zero point 
Always something 
Time’s out of joint 
Ghost hunting 
Inside my head 
The bells they ring loud 
Pale face in the clouds 
But not dead 
This resonance 
Is never gone 
A revenant 
Until dawn 
Ghost hunting
