Women - Women

It's a bit tragic when something with such an awesome cover turns out to be so disappointing

Album Review by Chris Cusack | 02 Jan 2009
Album title: Women
Artist: Women
Label: Jagjaguwar
Release date: 5 Jan

In keeping with the ethos of this album - reportedly recorded in a variety of unconventional, lo-fi ways - this review was scrawled in faeces on the walls of the Skinny toilet (yeah, thanks for that - Ed) and left there to be edited. Hopefully enough people are fooled by the novel medium and it too passes for a job well done. It's a bit tragic when something with such an awesome cover turns out to be so disappointing. First impressions are massively important, as any prospective employer will tell you. Only thing is, if you happen to go for a job dressed as well as this, then proceed to mumble, hum and make farting noises for the duration of the interview you might also meet with some confusion. Likewise it takes Women four tracks to even attempt a “song” - one of many weak stabs at 60s pop showcased here. The rest is little more than pretentious sub-Liars nonsense. [Chris Cusack]
