Recorded in a sweatshop, all analog reel to reel tape documents the heart & soul of what this duo has to offer. The exploding 19 minutes of raw energetic noise gives the listener a juxtaposition with the melodic swing and drone-y apocalyptic freak outs.

Details:
Until very recently I have had a real hard time wrapping my head around experimental music. Be it the dissonant textures, the lack of structures, or complex time signatures⦠I tend to get lost â real quick. Typically, Iâm a pretty simple person, and if you give it to me straight forward, stripped down, and raw, then I am happy. But then, Iâve recently been getting way into Female Demand.

Female Demand, a drum [Jonathan Perez] and bass [Bradley Munoz] duo from Houston, Texas, play an organic brand of noisy, melodically pleasing, experimental rock. Similar to to that of Lightning Bolt, but more interesting and accessible, or Death From Above 1979, without the glitz and pretension. Instead, there is something very honest in the way Jonathan and Bradleyâs music comes pouring out of them. When Iâd normally be turning this type of music down, in an attempt to recapture that safe little place in my head, I am finding myself turning up the volume, even hitting repeat. There are no bells and whistles here. No gimmicks. No slick little tricks. Only blissful noisy rock.

Female Demand - EP (2009)

Female Demand formed a little over a year ago in the wake of the break up of The Television Skies. Since, Jonathan and Bradley have released two EPâs. The most recent of which, titled simply âEP,â was released on December 31st, 2009. âEPâ (cover art at the left) was recorded inside an old sweat-shop in California with the help of Producer Manny Neito. Itâs 4 songs finds Female Demand exploding through 19 minutes of music that when not begging to be danced on is kindly puzzling. Highlights include the catchy bass riff at the beginning of Shred Tactics (track 1), the created juxtaposition with the melodic swing of I Was Waitiing (Track 3), and the drone-y apocalyptic freak out at the end of Milk the Smile (track 2). âEPâ will be available on January 20th at both Anotoneâs and Waterloo Records. Or you could (should) make a point to see Female Demand live and buy it from them directly. Their next show is January 20th @ the Beauty Bar. Come out! it should be a good time.
