Album Review: Woman's Hour - Conversations

StarStarStarHalf Star

"Those craving harder edges may get bored halfway through"

Ethereal, wispy female vocals? Check. Smooth electronic production? Check. London’s Woman’s Hour does not exactly break new ground but admirably carves out slow-burn grooves and dreamy pop across Conversations. They evoke the ghostly heartbreak of The xx (Two Sides Of You, Our Love Has No Rhythm) and the romance of Rhye (Unbroken Sequence, To The End), with occasional nods to Chairlift’s more upbeat moments on the title track. When in the mood, the consistency of style weaves a soothing spell, saved from monotony by the strength of the songwriting. Those craving harder edges may get bored halfway through.
