Laura says: "Jenni" starts off with all sparse and shimmery before erupting into a jaunty calypso groove topped with Fiona's sultry vocals. Kind of a like a collision between Vampire Weekend and The XX.

ABOUT THIS ITEM

Woman’s Hour formed in 2010 as a three piece consisting of siblings Fiona and William Burgess on vocals and guitar respectively and Nicolas Graves on bass. Hailing from Kendal, the gateway to the Lake District, all three members grew up together but they only started making music when they moved South to London, a reaction to boredom as much as anything. They set out to make pop songs in arrangements that highlight sparse and dense sounds offset by electronic drums and have evolved into a truly unique live act. Three turned into four as Woman’s Hour were joined by long time friend Josh Hunnisett who provided a new viewpoint, opening up areas of songs that previously wouldn’t have been there and adding a brave, experimental outlook to their sound.

Jenni and Human will be the band’s debut release. The double A-side single will be released by Dirty Bingo Records on the 5th December on limited edition vinyl 7”.

The tracks were recorded in Leeds by Wild Beasts producer Richard Formby. Inspired by Formby’s direction and their return North, Woman’s Hour have created an inimitable snapshot into their lives and ours, as distinct in its meaning as it is in its sound.
