Trystan's Best #7: Death From Above 1979 - You're A Woman, I'm A Machine

Released: October 26th, 2004

Is it possible to make an album that's as sexy as it is heavy? As catchy as it is unaccessible? Death From Above 1979, the one-time duo from Toronto pull this off with their masterful and only album You're A Woman, I'm A Machine. Between singer Sebastien Grainger's banshee-like vocals and bassman Jesse F. Keelers distorted bass-lines their is pop gold to be found. "Romantic Rights" and "Blood On Our Hands" are two of the catchiest songs you'll ever silmultanously shake your butt to and mosh to, and "Black History Month" has enough build-and-explode in it to blow the speakers at the biggest stadium. And nevermind closer "Sexy Results" which, if put on at the correct time during a date, could in fact lead to very sexy results.

It's a shame the two in this band couldn't stick it out longer, because they were certainly going to be greats. So we'll have to settle for their lone album, which happens to be one of the greats of this whole decade.
