Max Tundra, aka Ben Jacobs, brings his transformative cover of Kate Bush’s “This Woman’s Work”. Originally featured on the soundtrack of the 1988 film, She’s Having a Baby, and then on Bush’s 1989 album The Sensual World, Jacobs pays homage to the beautifully emotive original whilst transforming it into a new, synth heavy, falsetto-filled pop tune.
“Kate Bush is one of the few artists to have made the substance of the universe appear to change before my eyes,” Jacobs comments. “Her purity of artistic ambition has burst the universe wide open for me on several occasions. ‘This Woman’s Work’ is one of her most special pieces – I decided I would like to cover this song, as something new to perform at the end of my recent live show promoting my Domino reissues, as I felt it could showcase another side of my sound after the maximalist onslaught of my discography to date. I hope I did it justice.”

Progressive pop perfection. Ambitious, unusual and powerful, with Ryan's voice spreading itself on your ear-hairs like some kind of musical margarine. Max Tundra

This is my absolute favorite album of all time, words can not even begin to describe how much I love it. It nails the concept of dementia as an album perfectly 100/10. I don't know if I could find anything better than this. rod

i bought this album because the other option was paying for youtube premium and this is clearly the better option -- my only regret is i forgot to wait until Bandcamp Friday, but i guess it just couldn't wait. listening to this album is URGENT izZzak
