SXP faves MSC support with Jonathan from A Classic Education doing his solo mini-pop thing.
WOMEN (Calgary, AL)
Sometimes light and spacious, at other times eerie and dense with an ominous weight, Women hint at The Velvet Underground, Swell Maps or This Heat; a lo-fi masterpiece cloaked in layers of vibrato and guitar wash.
Women's self-titled full-length will be released though Jagjaguwar Records on January 19, 2009 and was was recorded by Sub Pop artist Chad VanGaalen over 4 months on ghettoblasters and old tape machines in his basement, an outdoor culvert and a cupboard.
where peers Deerhunter veer into amorphous song-globs and Times New Viking threaten to come unglued at any moment, Women has the cool, hard weight of something created under duress. - PITCHFORK
This is freak-rock, nursed on psychedelia and prog, but without pretense. -VUE Weekly
Women are not women. Thet are men. No matter, they are beautiful anyway - The Stool Pigeon
'A+ name by the way' Vice Magazine (8/10)

'slacker indie pop sensibilities that herald an inevitable radio takeover in the next year - Uncut
like Calexico's poppier cousins...genuinely tuneful country tinged songs...one of the capital's best kept secrets The Fly
