Search - Man Plus :: We Had No Sex

We Had No Sex marks the debut E.P. from Seattle's finest purveyors of pretty, clever, and terribly depressing music. The irony-free album turns up the guitars and turns down the keyboards. Where once Man Plus would throw an odd piano ballad into the mix to offer a respite from the barrage of loud bile-filled songs, no such release is found on We Had No Sex. The album marches on regardless of how deep it goes, or how far it goes. It runs through 1960's styled pop, hardcore, and dance, all husky, whispered secrets and screaming accusations. We Had No Sex is deceptively potent; in less than twenty minutes it shows what happens when gender, violence, love and alcohol become interchangeable. We Had No Sex is all about getting a little bit older and a little bit closer to death. It is the aural equivalent of realizing that you can no longer go playing in those fields, resolved, somewhat remorseful and shooting back an unwavering, crushing gaze.
