ANBAD’s Best Bands Of 2010 // Fifth, Fourth and Third Place
L-R: Ducktails // Young British Artists // Yuck When narrowing down the 200 or so bands featured on ANBAD this year to the final few, I tried to consider the words I wrote about the bands at the time as much as how much I like them now. This way the band has been reviewed twice: with fresh and familiar ears. I’m sure I’ve missed a number of brilliant bands who...
Women - Group Transport Hall
It may come and go in an instant, but Women’s "Group Transport Hall" contains echoes of decades; the Calgary quartet combining scabrous post-punk textures with ’60s psych cadence to great effect, landing somewhere between a sober Velvet Underground and The Shins’ sharper, younger brothers. "Black Rice", posted on RCRD LBL a little while back, stretches that...

Women
This post isn’t a rant about the fairer sex but a post about an album called Women by a band called Women. Who are all men. And Canadian! Reveling in lo-fidelity it was recorded on old tape machines in a variety of locations - a basement, a culvert (I had to look it up) and a crawl space. Whether these places added some hidden ambiance to each song is debatable but the variation in style...

Women - Women
It’s a curious name these four Canadian men have taken. If there was a definite article, or if the music were very different, you could maybe put it down to macho attention-seeking or glammy affectation.
