"Once in a while a band comes along, who, whilst not hiding their influences, create something unique, innovative and above all exhilerating. Though the references to sonic youth, the butthole surfers and gang of four may be noticeable, housewife are one of these rare examples of artists moving forward whilst looking back. Hailing from Austin, Texas 'The Delicate Prey' is housewife's third full-length and their best yet. With discordant noise blending seamlessly with arty but enjoyable melody and sharp angular rhythms laid over relaxed grooves housewife are without doubt one of the most unsung bands around. Get this album or forever live in regret." -roughtrade.com
