HOUSEWIFE MATILDA
‘Matilda’ is the new track from Toronto-based artist Housewife. Her voice is presented with an authentic ease that feels both casual and refined. It slots perfectly into the gaps above the intentionally janky guitar chug, and contrasts the smooth groove the rest of the band provide when the track really starts to take shape about a minute in. The track “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 an allegory for grief and loss, and missing something or someone you can't have anymore.” Check out her new EP, Girl Of The Hour, now. -Dan Peeke
