Artist Women

Things you should know about Women: 1) They’re from Canada. 2) There are four men and no women in the band, which leads to the suspicion that the generic band name is just a perverse attempt to foil any potential Google searchers. 3) They play low-key, lo-fi indie-rock that sounds like a slow-speed collision between The Velvet Underground and The Ventures. 4) The new Public Strain is a follow-up to their self-titled 2008 debut, which was recorded in, among other places, 5) a basement, 6) a crawl space, and 7) a rain culvert.
