AMG Review of You're a Woman, I'm a Machine
Johnny Loftus
All Music GuideDeath From Above 1979 makes their considerable racket with only bass, drums, and the occasional Moog squelch assist. This isn't a gimmick -- between Sebastien Grainger's frantic wail and the overdriven bass riffs of Jesse F. Keeler, the duo's You're a Woman, I'm a Machine pulses with a steady, sweaty energy that's punctuated with arena-sized hooks. "Blood on Our Hands" boils dance-punk nearly all the way down, leaving only a relentless hi-hat cymbal, while "Turn It Out" and "Cold War" churn on double-time rhythms and rudimentary, yet completely effective bass runs. The duo's setup certainly limits their range, which means the album can occasionally resemble one long song. But at just over a half-hour, it's over before any questions about the lack of guitars can even start to form. There are hyper indie rock flare-ups, like in the Hot Snakes/Rocket from the Crypt yelp of "Going Steady." And "Sexy Results" is a flirtatious and amplified cross of /p>
ew wave and Rapture-style strut that comes complete with a cowbell upbeat. Preoccupation with the opposite sex provides some of You're a Woman, I'm a Machine's strongest moments, from Grainger's "I don't need you/I want you" clarification on "Romantic Rights" to the frenetic late-album standout "Pull Out." Other highlights include the title track's layered vocals and wiry punk revivalism, and the subtler "Black History Month," which is a nice break from the record's consistently jerking pace. In the 2000s, dance-oriented energy keeps creeping regularly into ock & roll. On You're a Woman, I'm a Machine, Death from Above 1979 makes people move by exposing the live-wire tension ock music had all along.

I was dragging my tail this morning, to the point where even getting the boys out of bed and dressed seemed to more than I could bear. Exercising was the last thing on my mind. Being dutiful above all else, though, I slapped on the headphones, and proceeded. One whiff of the opening bass riff here, though, and all lethargy was forgotten.Yes indeed, the funtime music of DFA1979 got me moving thi...

Indeed, as you may have read I've been in Los Angeles recently and after a good shower with pumice I feel about 80% recovered. I make it seem much more dramatic and horrible than it was because "at the end of the day" melodrama is interesting and my trip really wasn't. We stayed at the Airport Marriott, out seminar was at the Airport Marriott, and the restaurants we at were also at the Airport ...

Little Girl = 10.0 song from a 10.0 album. Picking my favorite from this record was an extremely difficult decision, but came down to this and Black History Month, and this song came out on top because of its bag full of groovy riffs.
