Toronto's Housewife (f.k.a. Moscow Apartment) have released the first single under their new namesake: a pop-rock anthem named after the blueprint for romanticizing evil, "Patrick Bateman."
The anti-capitalist song follows the release of their 2020 EP Better Daughter and their 2017 self-titled debut. The duo, comprised of queer singer-songwriters Brighid Fry and Pascale Padilla, wrote the new track about what it means to put a bad person on a pedestal — especially those in the public sector.
Of the single, Housewife said in a statement: "The ultra-capitalist business imagery fell into place once we started writing the song. We wanted to tell a story of someone who is a 'bad actor' and hides parts of themselves to appeal to others, but their true intentions are slowly revealed."
