About Woman
Sometimes simple answers are required. WOMAN prefer to ask questions, one of them being “Where
you gonna go when the planet erupts?” which is the frst line of Dust, the opening song of HAPPY
FREEDOM, the frst album of the Cologne trio. Think about it: Where will you go when our blue planet
fnally bursts? If you are able come up with a simple answer, go ahead … Either way, you witness the album
is taking of lyrically within seconds. And the music is powerful as well. The beat marches elegantly into
the sky the keyboards contouring the sonic space as strange sounds emit from the dark. “Is there
something greater than dust?”, a voice asks. Sure, you might think: this is cosmic electronic pop music!
HAPPY FREEDOM is a highly anticipated debut album. You can read lines like this in every second info
sheet. But with WOMAN it is actually true. For fve years there has been rumbling about his band. Those
who knew the band from the beginning passed on their experience like a cherished secret. The band's
story began in 2012 in a basement bar in the Belgian quarter of Cologne. The three local musicians did not
even have a band name back then, but their frst set stood like a rock. It was loud and chaotic, half
Einstürzende Neubauten, half Suicide. Those present just could not believe what they saw: conceptually,
they were still in their children's shoes, but the intensity of the music and the joy of experimenting took
everyone out of their shoes.
With a few more gigs, WOMAN continued to develop. The band sounded electronic and cosmic, funky
and psychedelic. Yet a frst attempt to record the songs failed. “Our goals were much too high back
then”, says Manuel Tran, guitarist, singer and keyboarder. “So we just dropped the songs. It was hurtful,
but it was a necessary decision ”adds Milan Jacobi, the drummer. Carlos Hufschlag, second keyboarder
and second singer, became an important new addition to WOMAN. “At the moment I joined, it could
have been over quickly” he remembers. The band stood on the very tip founder Marvin Horsch leaving
the group. But the remaining trio just did the right thing: they took their time. They created demos on
their laptops, which were translated into analogue music later. It quickly became clear that a WOMAN
album just cannot be recorded in a kitchen of a fat share. The music needs space, it requires advanced
recording technology as well as a demanding producer.
This amazing person lives in Vienna, his name is Zebo Adam and he is responsible for the amazing sound of
the band. With him, WOMAN recorded their frst EP Fever, which was released in the spring of 2016 and
dropped like a bomb: music as mysterious, sexy and clever was rarely heard until then. In the summer and
autumn of 2016 things went crazy: the band played festivals such as Haldern, Roosevelt/ Marius Lauber
recorded a remix of Touch, which took WOMAN to the playlist of BBC Radio1. Finally, 1Live-musicconnaisseur
Klaus Fiehe told his audience that no other new band was talked about as often as WOMAN
at the music industry festival Eurosonic Noorderslag in Groningen– and the guys from Cologne weren't
even present. They had something diferent to do: they had to fnish their debut album. In Vienna of
course, with Zebo Adam.
Now you have to understand that this madman producer does not record songs as a tax auditors fles tax
returns. Zebo Adam is - in the best sense – an uber-nerd. “If he and his technicians set up a microphone
to record a drum sound, they turn it into a science”, tells Milan. For several weeks, the band joined Adam
in his very ivory tower in Vienna. “Actually, almost no one takes so much efort these days”, says Carlos.
This valuable work is expensive of course, and decent recordings can also be made signifcantly cheaper
on a laptop with a software such as Ableton live. “But we were not going for a decent sound. This was
simply out of the question for us”, says a determined Manu.
The artwork of HAPPY FREEDOM shows a sliced up planet earth, the planet's core is a mirror ball. No
image could ft better for WOMAN as a band. Their songs describe our lives - and while we wonder about
the clever descriptions, we are able to dance to them as well. Marvelous City is the frst single, a circular
piece, almost like a mantra: “There's a marvelous city in my dreams/ You should go downtown if you know
what I mean.” You might think there is a very special place you long to be. But a moment later Carlos
sings: “Only it's a dystopy”. Memories of the great science fction flms of the 70s pop up, such as
“Logan's Run”, giving the viewer a riddle to solve: What do you really want? And what are you ready pay
for the bait?
In Concrete Jungle, we witness a city being built in front of our eyes, turned into a concrete jungle,
populated by people with fragmented identities – but there is still hope: “I know the sunshine comes
through”. The piece pulsates mysteriously and exotic, Carlos sings the verses with a strange voice, raising
it in the chorus as Manu plays a psychedelic funk guitar. Control has disco beats and Neo-R'n'B
keyboards, the band is coming up with one of their great questions which we can ponder about for hours:
“What if control is an illusion after all?” Love starts of like Muzak, with a beat straight from an elevator.
But it does not get as comfortable as it is supposed to be, there is space for a few showstoppers in the
course of the three minutes. An overdriven electric guitar bursts into the picture, the chorus with a very
special fat keyboard is played only once, yet the second passage sounds as if Stevie Wonder had just
passed through Vienna.
These are the frst fve tracks of the album. It is useful to get HAPPY FREEDOM on vinyl, because you can
turn the record over at this instant and discover “The Dark Side Of WOMAN”. Money describing
capitalism as a fascist system, the sirens howling, the beat stumbling, Manu plays a sensational guitar solo,
representing the last outcry of the individual. Khung Bo is the Vietnamese expression for terror; this is
Manu's home country. Once again a man is resisting, this time the big enemy is the fear that paralyzes civil
society in times of terror. “Many pop and electronic music records lack a statement these days”, Carlos
complains. “I do not understand how a musician can omit these issues during the tough times we live in”,
adds Manu. The fnal song The End comes to a halt a couple of times in the course of its six minutes, as if
Sisyphus fnally understands the meaninglessness of his actions. With the lines “Take notice of the
wonders / I feel love again” the song rises to the end, at the top of mount Olympus it takes of to a space
station in place far away somewhere in our galaxy.
The End is the end and it’s time to return to the initial question: “Where you gonna go when the planet
erupts?” Well, right there – to the space-time continuum of the band WOMAN. The earth's core is a disco
ball, but life is not just hedonism and decadence. Without soul, friendship, love and social relationships you
are nothing, my dear individual person. WOMAN grant us HAPPY FREEDOM but they have the courage
to ask us to do something for it as well, as they deliver the soundtrack for a life in HAPPY FREEDOM.
Let the age of psychedelic electro'n'disco-pop begin!
