   About Unwoman

Unwoman is a San Francisco-based solo cellist/singer/producer who has performed with Rasputina, Attrition, Stripmall Architecture, HUMANWINE, Jill Tracy, The Ghosts Project, Vernian Process, and in April 2009 toured with Voltaire as part of the Skeletal Orchestra. Unwoman recently debuted a deluxe USB drive release of her newest full-length work The Keys containing all her published solo works (five albums worth!) and an antique key for only $30 in person ($31 online.) Regular download edition of The Keys is only $6.00.

The Trouble EP (Download only: physical copies are sold out):

Unwoman's third album, "Blossoms" (not available in most stores):
http://cdbaby.com/cd/unwoman3

"Like Kate Bush or Nico, Unwoman (http://www.unwoman.com) bravely steps beyond the word of pop, or anything remotely close to rock, into an uncategorizable, adventurous vision that is nevertheless steeped in history. With its mix and match of classical instrumentation and modern-day electronics, Unwoman does not occuy a specific place or time."
READ FULL REVIEW AT www.whisperinandhollerin.com.

"Erica Mulkey (Unwoman) has produced her third and most ravishing album to date. Always a sophisticated artist, balancing vocals, electronics, and her own fine cello playing she has gone farther in this recent work--exploring more deeply her remarkable range. Her settings for a group of Edna St Vincent Millay songs are as inventive, gutsy, and exquisite as the poems themselves, and she has set her own lyrics to music which displays startling new colors. All of this is balanced to great effect by songs in which she reveals her capacity for a poignant simplicity."
- Matthew Owens

"On her third release Unwoman (nee Erica Mulkey) has gotten clever: instead of giving us one full length she has given us two distinct EPs. But don't fret, either way Blossoms is a beautiful listen."
READ FULL REVIEW AT www.sepiachord.com

"Unwoman is Erica Mulkey, a singer/songwriter that swims in the chilly darkness of Siouxsie Sioux if she had replaced post-punk guitars and danceable synthesizers for cello and piano. /.../ This is not sunshine radio, but a journey into the shadows. It’s one that I am certainly willing to make over and over again."

I tried to listen to the MP3's at work but the stupid windows media player won't play them. I will upload the files to my iTunes tonight when I get home. =)

I used to play the cello (my primary instruments are actually piano and violin). Your music has inspired me to pick the cello back up. And your vocals are absolutely amazing. Thank you for so much inspiration.

I know it is a long trip but I hope you will make it back to Seattle again sometime.
It was truly a pleasure getting to hear you.

There is some presence driving on the stretch along the river next to a creole/outdoor restaurant where The Little Mermaid will be playing and its like I'm hearing you really speak I WILL BE YOUR ANGEL, and its neato, cos it would happen there frequently when I pop Blossoms in the trusty player. And I like hearing Parasthesia driving through the snow. now I'm thinking Smashing pumpkins lyrics WANNA GO FOR A RIDE? and thinking I better keep those treads in good shape.;)

Hey doll!I spent the other night listening to that mp3 cd you made years back and wow I had forgotten how beautifully you sang Wicked Games. Have you ever thought of making a cd with just covers or would it be difficult? Either way your music is just as lovely. Hope all is well with you! Hope you haven't forgotten your number one fan in Chicago lol.
