“Post War Glamour Girls have an energy, an intelligence which marks them out.” Clash Magazine
“PWGG have sculpted not just a great record, but an important one” The 405
“A cinematic, macabre and theatrical twist on stygian post-punk” The Line Of Best Fit
“A sobering slice of controlled rage and off-kilter noise, delivered with such passion” BEAT
Having won themselves a huge reputation following the release of their acclaimed and outstanding album ‘Pink Fur’ last year, Post War Glamour Girls are set to return with their highly-anticipated second album ‘Feeling Strange’, out on October 30th through Hide & Seek Records (Sam Airey / Dancing Years). In advance of the release the band are now streaming the second part of the album for a limited time only.

Recalling the likes of The Pixies and Wild Beasts with vocals evocative of Nick Cave crossed with Mark E Smith (if they had hailed from Yorkshire), the four-piece from Leeds continue to showcase an innate knack for creating intricately layered and intelligent compositions with a theatrical edge.
And while the mainstream has noticed, with the band receiving heavy support from Clash Magazine, DIY, The 405, The Line Of Best Fit, and being invited to perform on the NME/BBC Radio 1 stages at the Reading and Leeds festivals, it’s the incredible amount of underground fan-driven support that has marked Post War Glamour Girls out as a major band to watch.
The past year saw the band tour extensively, with lauded performances on the NME New Breed Tour, main-stage festival slots at Beacons, Long Division, Live at Leeds and Tramlines, as well as a return to the Leeds Festival to open the Dance To The Radio stage alongside Superfood, Honeyblood and Toy.
The four-piece also found time to hook up with the Too Pure label for a limited edition double-A side single that saw Post War Glamour Girls snapped up as Steve Lamacq’s BBC 6Music ‘Band of The Week’ and further cemented their widespread appeal.
Post War Glamour Girls returned to the studio earlier this year to work on the follow up to their debut, ‘Feeling Strange’. The new record sees the band marrying their expansive left-field sensibilities with a more honed and focused approach to both structure and repetition. Lyrically, the themes are as abstract and abrasive as ever, with drawled defeatist lines that carry the band into a more playful (and often paranoid) territory than heard on their debut ‘Pink Fur’. It’s an exciting new direction and one that reinforces Post War Glamour Girls reputation as one of most exciting and inventive new acts out there.
“It’s a record about government, war, poverty, injustice and all that shit you read about and hear about every single day. It’s a record about feeling guilt and shame for things we are not personally responsible for, and of almost admitting defeat” explains James from the group.
‘Feeling Strange’ is released on October 30th through Hide & Seek Records, available on limited edition vinyl, CD, and from all good digital stores. Vinyl pre-orders are already close to selling out and are available from here now; http://postwarglamourgirls.com/merch
