It’s horrible to watch, simultaneously violent and strangely tender.”
“there’s no template
for how we write songs,
we’re still learning!” FIONA, WOMAN'S HOUR
“Darkest Place” is heavy with synth and moody melodies, whilst Fiona’s uplifting vocals add an airy melancholia to the song. “Thunder”, the latest single from Woman’s Hour, is rich in layers, from the hazy-sounding guitar to the peppery-beat of the synth whilst the dreamy vocals ground the song. Then there’s “To The End” which is slow and seductive, with throbbing electronica sounds and the echo of a guitar making for addictive listening.
It’s clear from the singles released last year that Woman’s Hour have firmly found their feet and are running with this gorgeous, atmospheric sound. As for whether this is an album in the pipeline? “It’s in the making.” Whilst they are now more focused than ever on the music they state that “there’s no template for how we write songs, we’re still learning!” This looks to be the year for Woman’s Hour and it appears they are more than ready to take on the world.
