Women is a Canadian indie rock outfit founded in 2007 in Calgary, Alberta. The band consists of Patrick Flegel on vocals and guitar, Matt Flegel on bass and vocals, Chris Reimer on guitar and vocals, and Michael Wallace on drums. With their longstanding musical bond since childhood, Women effortlessly blend dense experimental noise and intricate instrumentation with delicate melodic songwriting.

In 2012, tragedy struck when guitarist Christopher Reimer passed away in his sleep just days after performing at Weeds Cafe in Calgary. To honor his memory, Chad van Gaalen released The Chad Tape featuring nine solo tracks by Reimer. Following the disbanding of Women and Reimer's death, Matthew Flegel and Michael Wallace formed the band Viet Cong while Pat Flegel pursued his own project called Cindy Lee.

on their debut self-titled album, women embraced sonic brashness that deeper examination revealed to be tinted with sly pop melody. with 'public strain' the band honed a sound truthful to that reverb drenched noise while allowing the pop sensibilities to surface into clearer focus. 'public strain' exploits their usage of harsh, grating dissonance in smaller and controlled doses, using noise as the foundation for richly structured, layered songwriting. in places claustrophobic, conjuring walking dreams of sexual anguish and general decay, elsewhere soaring with vintage guitar tones and vocal melodies or collapsing into swirling, mesmerizing swells, 'public strain' cycles through insomnia, paranoia, resignation and euphoria, to capture a band with an undeniable voice coming into full awareness of their craft. on jagjaguwar records.
