Four star review

The Music have given our new album ‘Carousel’ four stars! Copy of the review online or see below.

Carousel

Plus One Records

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.

Album out now

“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.

This weekend – 4-7th October 2013 – women in docs’ are at Wintermoon in October. A fantastic camping festival in the rainforest 50kms north of Mackay in QLD, Australia.

We will have the full band there folk-rocking the stages – featuring Silas Palmer on violin and keys, and Geoff Green on drums.

Other acts include: Lily & King, Women in Docs, John Schumann & the Vagabond Crew (formerly Redgum), Mustered Courage, Hugh McDonald, Damian Howard, Rebecca Wright and Donald McKay, Hallelujah Baby and Loose Cannons.

There will be the usual large variety of colourful market stalls and other entertainment for all ages, including such exciting acts as the Woodenbong Fire Tribe.

Wintermoon in October provides a chance to unwind and relax in a beautiful bush setting, renew old ties, meet new friends, or just settle back on a hay bale and enjoy a program of some of the best live music Australia has to offer.

The festival runs from 4th – 7th October.

We look forward to seeing you there!
