In other news, the debut Household LP "Items" begins shipping late
next week for those that pre-order, well in advance of the November 15
official release date. Unless there is something wrong with you, you
will instantly fall in love with this record. You listen to the
opening track "Go Away" on the album release page on the dull knife
site, or you can stream the entire album at http://household.bandcamp.com

Items, the debut from Brooklyn's Household, is 9 songs of
taut,infectious, post-punk meets pop perfection. The band combines the
aesthetics of UK DIY and the heyday of the American indie underground,
sharpening them to a point and bringing to mind bands such as Young
Marble Giants, Slant 6, and contemporaries Grass Widow.

"Brooklyn post-punk trio Household has all the taut, jittery rhythmic
propulsion of vintage art-pulsers like LiLiPUT and Delta 5, but the
band adds a gorgeous, infectious layer of minor-key harmonies taken
from the first wave of '90s twee.....the sardonic Items, an album of
two-minute ragers where pop melodies float determinedly over jagged
rhythms and clipped, strangled guitars...Opening track "Go Away" is
blocky and brittle, playing like spiraling twee-pop bubblegum after
spending a semester at the Gang Of Four school of rock."
