The album Public Strain by the un-Googleable (if such a word exists) Women is one of those that has nagged away at us, slyly skulking around looking for ways to infiltrate our subconsciousness. On first, second, and subsequent listens it becomes a little bit more familiar, a little bit more impressive, a little bit more essential until suddenly you realise that it is an album that is getting played rather a lot.

And so it is was very pleasing to discover they have offered up just about our favourite track from the album for free – the rather marvellous, if oddly titled, Narrow With The Hall. It is as one Brit comedy or perhaps advert used to memorably say “predictably unpredictable” (or something like that) going off in directions you wouldn’t expect and (like the rest of the album) insisting you love it by sheer force of will.

Enjoy.
