a review of no man's woman published in FourThousand Issue 015 - re-fashioned: the eraser (2007) is a dew process recording
Here’s to genderfuck in the music industry! Algight, so Dew Process’s No Man’s Woman compilation isn’t a concerted effort to smash socially constructed notions of gender identity one strum at a time, but it is a divine tribute to the luscious ladies of rock.
Angus Stone opens with delicate version of Joni Mitchell’s ‘River’ followed by a broody Bernie Fanning trying hard to be Beth Gibbons. No one will ever do it as good as Portishead, but Powderfinger give it a good go.
Maybe Craig Nicholls will leave The Vines and replace one of The Veronicas twins. And we’re pretty sure Phil Jamieson would defect Grinspoon to join The Divinyls if Christina Amphlett would let him.
On the calmer end of the scale, Whitely’s cover of Bj?rk’s ‘Hyperballad’, Lior’s tribute to Fleetwood Mac with ‘Landslide’ and Expatriate’s version of ‘Missing’ by Everything But the Girl flow like honey and are just as sweet.
Highlights include End of Fashion’s pepped-up, power-pop take on ‘Hanging on the Telephone’ and Tex Perkins, who steals the show with a crash-bang approach ‘I am Woman.’
