Gender Work recently released Disruption, a full-length series of synth-pop that could (at least temporarily) relax the tensions caused by the daily news cycle. In its place, warm vapors of keys, mingling with decisive backbeats, uncoil the body, breathing in a refreshing atmosphere. Gender Work is penciled into the lineup at South Philly’s Tralfamadore on Thursday, August 24, with Slow Clover, Missangelbird, and Busy Bee. (Photo by Sam Hollander)
