The brutal, sensual, and confusing sounds of West Palm Beach experimental outfit Weird Wives just expanded. Three new tracks from the group's limited-edition cassette that has one of the longest album titles ever, Some motherfucker's gonna be walking 'round with a size 9 Diehard up
their ass, cause apparently they ain't never seen a short A/C man get
bad ass on methadone, popped up on the band's Soundcloud page yesterday, and each provides a strikingly different foray into what it means to be a strange spouse.
"Plastic Masks 2" is probably most reminiscent of the Weird Wives works we've documented in the past -- thick bass lines, mangled and menacing guitar riffs -- but Nick Klein's over-the-top vocal persona has been replaced with more subliminal messages.

"Dashing Moulah" is the sound of the future when we all become cowboys again, and its schizophrenic synth line is what they'll play in the saloons.

"No Sleep" is the most straightforward guitar rock song of the bunch and is somewhere between the works of Cop City/Chill Pillars and Surfer Blood -- two other local groups with heavy overlap with this band.
