 It's a burning debut for these four ugly folks, perverting under a name related to women (as seems to be in fashion, lately). They are New Yorkers, go out for one of the filthiest labels on the planet (the Basque Bang!), and Martin Bisi sits behind the desk.
Have we raised the antennas?
Well, you're on the right track to become connoisseurs of the dirty swamp-noise-blues of Brett Schultz (vocals, guitar), Kristian Brenchley (guitar, vocals) Skeleton Boy (bass) and Alex Velasquez (drums), known as Woman.
This Woman is not very feminine. In fact the definition of "woman" could never be applied to this quartet, according to their sounds: Entering the record, you get a real feeling of falling into quicksand, sounds mixing as the atmosphere darkens and the air begins to saturate until becoming unbearable. And it takes you deep down, down to the bottom where slime regurgitates with all the knowledge of NYC noise, near and far: Deformed blues and noise like the cacophony of Pussy Galore, abused rock and existential urban paranoia from the Swans, the rough guitars and taste for the obscene from the Unsane. But there is not much violence in the strict sense, more like perennial desperation coming from these four obsessives, judging by the remains of the final sludge "Icy Drone" which fuses nuclear waste and scraps of indigestible NY sounds.
Definitely an excellent debut.
