women musicians

This is going very well..a wife/husband team of folklorists is traveling the US and I think verging into Canada and recording various women...some of whom you have heard of, like April Verch (and I know you have heard about her because I have waxed eloquent on her at various times) and Alice Gerrard..and some are not well known out of their local elements..this is on youtube...and will be provided to Library of Congress. They spent apparently a wonderful time down south because the Cajun/Creole music and blues are well represented. I think they are winding their way back home about now and should be in the Virginia area and heading back north and west but I am not sure. Anyway, just go to musicboxproject.org I think and also you tube and see these great American (anyone can be an American just by declaring themselves one in spirit or living on the American Continents including but not exclusive to countries in North, South, Central America and adjacent territies and Islands and of course the great land piece of Greenland and I hope I did not leave anyone out because people get upset if you do but that is not my intention

Women - Public Strain

I constantly feel like I’m staring at an unrecognizable and clawed-at photo. It looks familiar. Like a friend or a place that I know well yet can’t firmly identify. I continue to pull the photo closer and begin to enjoy the imperfections (faded color, ripped edges and wrinkled integrity) and no longer feel or desire any relation to the subject. By no means is this record a grower, it simply sets a tone that is so unexpected and beautifully detuned. It also does a hell of a job of putting your mind in a dark place.

Women’s sophomore album expands upon their Velvet Underground-inspired pop by deconstructing it one brittle pluck at a time. Opener “Can’t You See” drones with controlled feedback, strings and vocals that are so distant and uncaring. There’s a triumphant joy within the lack of clarity, but there’s also no sign that Women want to be held close or understood either, and that makes complete sense with what comes next. “Heat Distraction” is full of wrecked guitar picking that sounds lost yet strategically placed in every repetition within its oddly shaped time signature. It’s the sound of a group reshaping post-punk into their own mangled vision of experimental pop. “Narrow with the Hall” takes a more direct approach. It follows a linear and distorted guitar note then erupts with a wash of noise that rivals a thousand fuzzy televisions losing their signals. If you feel disoriented then the album is doing its job.
