HOUSEWIFE SHARES NEW SINGLE, “LIFE OF THE PARTY” | CANADIAN TOUR DATES WITH REUBEN AND THE DARK BEGIN NOVEMBER 6
SUBMARINE CAT RECORDS
Having already established herself as one of the more enchanting names rising through the alt-pop arena in recent years, Housewife (Brighid Fry) continues her vibrant ascent as she delivers her shimmering new single “Life Of The Party”. Set over driving bass and distorted, haunting guitar lines, the song sees Fry explore a darker edge to the melodic indie-pop of seen on recent singles “I Lied” and “Wasn’t You”.
Speaking about the new release, the CBC Searchlight Top 10 finalist says, “’Life of the Party’ is the closest I’ll ever get to making the music 13 year old emo me wanted to make. It’s a totally self pity fest, which is sometimes exactly what you need! I made this song with Mikky Ekko and Aaron C Harmon, and we wrote it about the cognitive dissonance you get between people’s perception of how your life is going versus how you actually feel it’s going.
“I totally love my job, but I think sometimes people make a lot of assumptions about me based on the fact that I’m a musician. People see me on stage and assume that I’m this super confident person living a super glamorous life, and that is just not the case. Once I get off stage, I am a very anxious person who doesn’t like being the center of attention – so I wanted to write a song about balancing people’s opinions of me with how I actually feel about myself.”
