‘Eazy Peazy’ captures their diverse range further cements the group as one of the most exciting current acts.

Like a funambulist walking the tightrope, Man/Woman/Chainsaw strike a potent balance between mayhem and tranquillity with an endearing charm on their debut EP ‘Eazy Peazy’. Released via Fat Possum Records, the six tracks form an elegant intricacy like a fine spider’s web, striking a strong juxtaposition between fierce, bulldozing energy and delicate undertones which shine through the cracks.

With opener ‘The Boss’, we are met with a driving force of fuzzy guitar and piercing fiddle which creates a cinematic atmosphere before tapering off into the speak-sing vocals from bassist Vera Leppänen. ‘Sports Day’ then kicks in with punk rocking attitude. Over heavily distorted guitar and choppy drums, guitarist Billy Ward takes the lead singing, doing so with a snarling approach. Between the band’s five members, multiple signers and clashes of musical personalities, we hear on this EP a unique range of sounds tamed into one solid unit.

‘Grow A Tongue In Time’ shows a gentler side of the band, opening up an emotive strain to the EP. Leppänen returns on vocals, starting soft but building to a powerful delivery over airy light keys and strung out fiddle that at length climb in accompaniment. Though moments of the EP are reminiscent of Sonic Youth and others suggest Black Country, New Road, the five-piece are truly a unique and fresh act with their own individuality. Through the use of the fiddle in particular, they draw almost folk embellishments into the mix, while the use of synths and keys strike notes of beauty among the frantic.

Since debuting at sixteen years old with a string of self-released singles, the London based group found their breakthrough with last year’s ‘What Lucy Found There’. Continuing to build a loyal following through explosive live performances, they now find themselves one of the most experimental, unpredictable and exciting acts in the capital.
