EP Review

A new EP review for you from eyeplug.net. Loving this one!


50 Ft Woman – ‘Menage à Trois’
(EP, own label)

Debut EP from a London quintet who emerge with a well-released image and sound. Fittingly, Menage à Trois features three tracks, with opener ‘Psychic Hygiene’ providing an introduction to the group’s twisted bump’n’grind, lyrical dexterity and sassy soloing.

‘(Strictly) Only Swinging’ offers a salacious peek behind suburban lace curtains which builds to a churning sonic froth of desire.

As guitars Buzzcock and front (50ft) woman Minki’s vulnerable diction evoke Deborah Harry, ‘You’re In Love With Love (But You Ain’t In Love With Me)’ coalesces as a Blondie-esque slice of bittersweet angst.

Happy Anti-Valentine's Day

Nobody can say we don't enter into the spirit of things .. but never being one to conform, we have decided to release a special xxx-clusive mix of (Strictly) Only Swinging, just in time for Valentine's Day. You will need damn good speakers or headphones to listen to it, a special stereo widened mix that will blow your socks/stockings off. Lovingly crafted by our very own Recharged Radio head honcho Jordan Thomas, we simply had to share it.

And what better present for anti-valentine than a song about naughty goings on in the suburbs .. enjoy .. and come back and let us know what you think!

Grab it now while you can (oo-er missus) http://www.tourdates.co.uk/50ft-woman
