The Music have given our new album ‘Carousel’ four stars! Copy of the review online or see below.
Date of release: 07/02/2014
Taking a decidedly more country approach on their third album, Queensland folk troubadours Women In Docs – Chanel Lucas and Roz Pappalardo – are still dishing out finely crafted harmonies and well arranged compositions, with the added cohesion of writing together for the first time. The beautifully intuitive fiddle style of Silas Palmer features on the title track lead single, recalling the duo’s DIY, follow-your-dreams-and-jump-in-a-van beginnings, while Raining On Me features an impressive gang-vocal outro that offers a soulful, gospel-tinged take on folk. A version of Bob Dylan’s Wagon Wheel underlines the appeal of Women In Docs – instinctive melodies and good clean fun musical times.

“lush melodies and captivating lyrics… a collection of new and original material as fresh as a temperate morning breeze… harmonies are note-perfect, the melodies invigorating… [the songs] are infused with a literary sensibility. Carousel… will probably make your day a whole lot more enjoyable.” – Patrick Emery, Beat Magazine, January 2014
women in docs release their third album and seventh release – ‘Carousel’ – through Plus One Records. This is honest, effervescent, genuine songwriting from one of Australia’s most respected independent duos. Their refreshing acoustic music is a little bit folk, a little bit country, and a little bit rock ‘n roll. With international tours and airplay in USA, Germany, China and around Australia this duo know how to tell a story. They will change your day with this album – out now through Plus One Records.
From 7 Feb 2014 on iTunes and in Australian record stores through MGM Distribution.
It’s the final weekend of our ‘Carousel’ single launch tour. Hope to see you at a show!
