Rarities 2007-2010

*Rarities 12" estimated to ship January 2021, Public Strain (Clear Vinyl) estimated to ship November 2020*

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the now legendary album ‘Public Strain’, Women are releasing a special limited edition clear vinyl pressing of the album and a new five-song collection of material titled ‘Rarities 2007-2010’ featuring material that was either hard-to-find or never released, now properly mastered and available to order on vinyl for the first time.

The product of an intense and difficult year-long recording process, 'Public Strain' seems without any clear sonic lineage  — equal parts Velvet Underground, Deerhoof, and Television, but distinctly unique and unprecedented. Just over a month after the album’s release, the short-lived band was finished; however, the reverberations of 'Public Strain' were widespread and it became regarded as a modern-day masterpiece, a vital document of an inimitable moment in time, and a clear touchstone for countless albums since its release.

Now, a decade later, Jagjaguwar & Flemish Eye are announcing a special 10th anniversary edition of this now legendary album as well as the release of some long-rare B-side material.
