Feb 12, 2019Woman’s Hour have created something truly special in these final throes.
-
Q MagazineFeb 12, 2019Ephyra sees them merge their blissful tendencies with the chutzpah and restless creativity of '80s new wave, mixing in retro-futurist synths, mannered vocals, disco beats and erudite lyricism. [Apr 2019, p.118]
-
Mar 1, 2019When they do finally depart after a handful of shows later this month, Woman's Hour find themselves in the fairly unique position of having a small but well formed catalogue of work that's near flawless. As a result, Ephyra is a fitting epitaph.
-
Feb 12, 2019Ephyra is an intelligent release, one that grows on its listeners far more than initial investigations would should suggest. Such things can be a double-edged sword however, and Ephyra is also a fractured record, the potential of which feels somewhat stymied by its own belligerence.
-
Feb 19, 2019If this is the last we hear from Woman’s Hour then it underlines their formidable creativity; a moving, touching return, Ephyra is the sound of re-constructed glories.
-
MojoFeb 12, 2019Each song seems like an effort to atomise their grief and frustration, with frequently clarity amid icy electronic noir. [Mar 2019, p.99]
-
Feb 14, 2019Ultimately, the record doesn’t feel wholly complete. By the final rotation of this imperfect kaleidoscope, there are inconsistencies that only highlight the fractures that underlie Ephyra. But Woman’s Hour have a knack for communicating this feeling so gracefully.
