Wetdog Frauhaus CD

2009 sophomore release from the female Post Post-Punk trio. After the release of 2008's Enterprise Reversal, Wetdog quickly set about writing tracks for Frauhaus! The first single 'Lower Leg' features just drums, bass, tambourine and vocals, and inhabits the skin of a classic Rough Trade seven inch single of yesteryear: effortless style, catchy tune, and dance floor-friendly Pop gone wrong. It's their most accessible recording to date. The band have an affinity with Welsh genius, counting Datblygu and Euros Childs amongst their influences (there are hints of the pastoral in the melodies) but they are oft compared to Post-Punk artists like the Slits. The three members of Wetdog agree on one thing: hard and sparse music contrasting with vocal harmonies. 14 tracks. Angular.
