Album Notes & Community Reviews
An absolute landmark of feminist post-punk, The Raincoats' debut album thrives on deeply unconventional instrumentation and remarkably sincere, amateurish charm. Utilizing scraping violins and disjointed rhythms, the record is an incredibly raw, beautifully dissonant, and wonderfully playful exploration of deeply introspective, quirky DIY punk.
