Paralyzed Dance Tonight

Once every big blue moon you hear an album that makes you feel as if you'd just stepped out of a crisp morning shower--emotionally refreshed and completely revitalized. You can't explain why the impact of this record is so intense, and you don't have to. Women and Children can handle that. Paralyzed Dance Tonight, Women and Children's new full-length, bounces freely across the world. With eighteen glorious tracks, it showcases a wide variety of folk-pop panorama. The album may remind one of The Velvet Underground's legendary sessions with Nico; vibes rich in park life activity and partly cloudy journal entries. Women and Children began their existence when Californian Kevin Lasting crossed paths with Canadian Cheryl June Serwa. After jotting his telephone number across the length of her forearm, a love affair was born, spontaneously relocating the couple to Paris. Soon they united with fellow American/old friend Jamie Moon and new French pal Olivier Robert. The four joined forces in concocting an almost endless roster of tunes; songs that ended in the right hands and ultimately landed the band a supporting spot on Cat Power's UK tour and a personal selection by Vincent Gallo for his All Tomorrows Parties Festival.
