Reviews Updated 01/01/2005 From Piano Magic's website http://www.piano-magic.co.uk/ A prime example of the music industry being blind, deaf and dumb, this record came out over two years ago and still didn't get a release outside of America. Worse still, the band are sitting around with an album's worth of new demos whilst the gutless, tasteless A&R vultures swoop on anything that remotely resembles the next Franz Ferdinand. Women & Children are American and Canadian exiles respectively, living on the outskirts of Paris, where they thoughtfully write and record this organic, lush, dusty music that's as gentle as a money spider running up your arm. If I were to cite lazy comparisons, I would go somewhere near Nico or Hope Sandoval's "Bavarian Fruit Bread." That this band look as much like born stars as Royal Trux should, of course, be neither here nor there but it's there. Cat Power's favourite band. Chan's had them propping up her dire live show in Australia and America this past year. You should start a label to sign music like this. What else are you doing?
