Wilted Woman's New Single Sounds Like Tarantella Acid

Berlin-based DIY musician Eel Burn, a.k.a. Wilted Woman, today shared a mischievous, tarantella-evoking track off her forthcoming Diary of a Woman EP on James K's She Rocks! imprint. "Warmer" follows the insidious lead single "Somehow," and invokes the same sort of deliciously bad vibes. While the intro could be described as chipper, before long the track is beset with an infection erupting across its skin in fifteen directions at once. Unlike lots of "lo-fi", hardware-based techno musicians, Wilted Woman emphasizes harmonic complexity in her work here, which should please listeners looking for more than "just noise."

The producer told THUMP about the track's origins in live performance over email. "'Warmer' has probably gone through more iterations that anything else I've worked on," she said. "It came out of the live set I was playing in the beginning of 2015 and just kept changing a little bit more with every show. By the time I recorded it for the EP last summer, the track had transformed from a straightforward acid jam to scary haunted pumpkin vibes…"

The Diary of a Woman EP will be out this Friday, April 28, and is available for preorder on Bandcamp.
