More Info:
The debut album by Women was recorded over 4 months on ghetto blasters and old tape machines in Chad Van Gaalen's basement, an outdoor culvert and a crawl space. Sometimes light and spacious, at other times eerie and dense with an ominous weight, this self-titled album touches upon Velvet Underground, Swell Maps or This Heat while not really having any obvious precursors - a lo-fi masterpiece cloaked in layers of vibrato and guitar wash. Noisy and claustrophobic songs smash through junkyard trash brawls while others lift and soar across the landscape of 50's informed pop; a contradiction and an enigma, the debut album by Women will find it's way onto summertime pool break-in boom box mixes and the turntables of record store devotees.
