Last year, Washington DC's True Womanhood announced the start of their REEL TO REAL series:
This fall we purchased and restored a vintage reel to reel machine monstrosity and we’ve begun to record some new songs. We will be ripping these tracks directly from the reels and releasing them on our blog and via soundcloud as they are completed. Expect lots of new songs, some covers, and lots and lots of experiments.True Womanhood's newest single MINAJAH "was inspired by the recent creation of the Moombahton dance craze, right here in DC. We didn't use Ableton like everyone else because we are idiots and we thought we could make electronic music using live instruments patched through effects pedals. Also, Stevie Wonder shook our hands the day we bought the synth that this song was played on and told us it was a good choice. His magic apparently rubbed off. (We are not kidding. This is a true story. His hands smell like sandalwood.)"
