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.

upfront copies of the most played and loved record in rough trade at the moment. the debut album by women was recorded over 4 months on ghetto blasters and old tape machines in chad vangaalen's basement, an outdoor culvert and a crawl space. sometimes light and spacious, at other times eerie and dense with an ominous weight, this self titled album touches upon velvet underground, swell maps or this heat while not really having any obvious precursors - a lo-fi masterpiece cloaked in layers of vibrato and guitar wash. noisy and claustrophobic songs smash through junkyard trash brawls while others lift and soar across the landscape of 50's-informed pop; a contradiction and an enigma, the debut album by women will find its way onto summertime pool break-in boombox mixes and the turntables of record store devotees.
