Ladyshave

“There couldn't have been any doubt over a lead single from This Is Normal -- Ladyshave is an instant winner, a distorted organ/shuffle beat combination calling to mind the Charlatans' underrated second album Between 10th and 11th. GusGus has bigger fish to fry, though, with Daniel Agust's usual deceptively cool delivery making a great contrast to the warmth of the music, though every so often he bursts through with just enough soul. Two further remixes appear -- Roy Davis, Jr.'s lady soul version turns the song into 1973-era Philadelphia and gets away with it, while Tim Lee's fully bearded mix is a good enough funk jam. Purple (Sasha Midnight in Reyjavik), a remix from Polydistortion, makes for an engaging techno instrumental, very pleasant in an active {prog-house} style, while Love Vs. Hate reappears unchanged from This Is Normal to close things up.” ~ Ned Raggett, All Music Guide
