The new single ‘Male Order Bride’ (release date 8 March 2017) is a
wry commentary on modern 'gender equality'. Its catchy chorus "I'm still working for the
man" is a reminder that the class struggle still begins at home - in the
kitchen and the bedroom. There couldn't be a better time to call out the
exploitation that seems to be making a comeback around the world. Accompanying
video by Chris Davis wittily intercuts archive footage with eroticised domestic
pastiche; a faceless man and a bearded woman give an edgy twist with a curious
amount of scrumptious meaty bits.
"Likely to
be the most compelling things you hear all year" - The Herald,
Scotland
Avital Raz's quirky approach to songwriting has already brought us
such cynical feminist gems as ‘Oh, Isabel’ (how to
fend off a paedophile), ‘The Edinburgh
Surprise’ (a one night stand between an Israeli and Palestinian), and ‘Blues of the Ugly
Sister’ (an alternative Cinderella story).
The recording is produced by Keith Angel and features Luke Carver
Goss (Accordion), Andy Seward (Double Bass), Dave Angel from The Angel Brothers
(Guitar), as well as Jote Osahn on Violin (formerly of Elbow), Mina Mikhael
Salama on Oud and Ney-Arabic flute (Rafiki Jazz) and Pete Harvey on cello (King
Creosote, The Leg).
Promo copies are available on request.
