“Widow”, Working Men's Club

This way: Widow

Working Men's Club is the debut album by the Yorkshire synthpop band Working Men's Club, released on 2 October 2020 on Heavenly Recordings.

Clash critic Josh Crowe described the record as something that "could pass as a mixtape, traversing through a medley of sounds, eras and genres", stating that "the one thing consistent throughout are the standout vocals of Minsky-Sargeant." Dave Simpson of The Guardian wrote: "The West Yorkshire band take the stark electronics of the post-punk scene and warm them with Detroit techno and Italian house – while addressing Andrew Neil with mischievous one-liners."

Tim Russell of God Is in the TV was also positive, calling Working Men's Club "a very special record, inspired by a fairly specific past but managing to sound fresh, contemporary and original, due in no small part to the precocious talent and charisma of singer Syd Minsky-Sargeant, a true star in the making."
