The Raincoats

The Raincoats is the 1979 debut by the English all-female band The Raincoats. It blends post-punk and new wave with punk energy, featuring loose, DIY production, off-kilter rhythms, skittish guitar interplay and touches of dub and folk textures. The album is characterized by unconventional song structures and intimate vocal exchanges, and it helped mark the band as an influential voice in underground British post-punk.
