iTunes Review
There are no women in Women (of course); the band is comprised of four young Canadian men with a knack for making inscrutable pop music that eschews verse-chorus-verse songwriting in favor of tunes that march and shuffle along to waves of feedback, or dissonant guitars, or sharp, angular rhythms. Public Strain is their second full-length release, and it continues very much in the vein of their 2008 eponymous debut, with tracks like “Narrow With the Hall” and “Locust Valley” sounding like indie-pop wannabes while songs like “Can’t You See” and “Bells” are oddly enchanting pop outliers that poke and prod. The jutting, spastic guitars of “China Steps” and “Heat Distraction” faintly evoke Can and Captain Beefheart (respectively), and the noisy post-punk of “Drag Open” borrows from Thurston Moore’s “Dissonance for Dummies.” With producer and psych-pop musician Chad VanGaalen again at the helm, Public Strain creeps stealthily into the listener’s psyche, where it will likely live long after “Eyesore” has faded to its bittersweet, but hopeful, end.
Customer Reviews
Good sophomore effort
Their first album was probably one of my faves of 08, and while this doesn't have the straight ahead stuff like Black Rice, the second album is still very good. Normally I don't like lo-fi and the first listen to this album I was somewhat disappointed for the noise factor. After a few listens however, I've changed my mind. These guys are tight and very original and this album will be in my top 10 of 2010 fer sure yep. Check out Locust.
Good Stuff!
This album is really, really awesome! Any song could be a favorite.
Listen to it all the way through and close your eyes the first time if you have the chance, it's a beauty!
Untogether and Eyesore are brilliant..
