WOMEN - S/T
Opening a capella with 15 seconds of the sort of reverb-daubed harmony atmosphere popularized by Bears Panda and Grizzly, the stubborn racket that soon ensues ensures that no mistake can be made--Women stockpile their sound in their own inward way, fleeting comparisons be faintly damned. Although these Albertans' vocal sunshine is sturdy enough to hold up to other retroriginal Can-pop like Caribou and The New Pornographers, the mention of This Heat in the band's press kit holds truer than you'd expect, dipping into gritty fidelity, ambient creep and spidery guitar angularity at their whim.
