Wilted Woman - Keychain
How to use the reserve function
If you'd like to purchase items from our site but want to save money on shipping costs, you can use our reserve function to combine your orders over an unlimited period of time, and ship them together for one combined shipping price when you are ready.
Just hit the 'reserve' button at the checkout page as your shipping option when you've finished making your order, and your order will automatically be held in reserve here until you are ready for us to ship everything to you.You can keep as many orders in reserve with us via our site as you like, until you are ready to ship. Just send us an email when you are ready to ship your reserve orders, and we will get in touch with the combined shipping price, or ship for free if you have exceeded the minimum order amount for free shipping to your address.
Can the reserve function be used to get free shipping? Yes - If your combined order total is more than £50 within the UK, over £150 within the EU, or over £225 worldwide, we'll ship your order to you via courier service, for free.
Here's a step by step guide to using it:
1. Click on the account icon to log into your account.
If you don't have an account, please click 'create account' to make one. If you had an account on the old RWDFWD site, please create a new one with the same email address used on the old site - this will ensure your previous orders are brought through to your new account.
2. Add records to your cart as normal.
3. When you're ready to check out, select 'ship'.
4. Then select 'Reserve items' on the shipping method list, then continue to payment.
5. Once payment is complete, your order will show in your account as 'unfulfilled'. We will have put all the products aside in reserve for you to combine with other orders and ship later in bulk.
6. When you're ready to ship all the items you have in reserve, email us on info@rwdfwd.com and we will calculate the shipping due and arrange for payment to be taken.
7. Sit tight and wait for your records to arrive in the post!

EU Order info
Unfortunately, the UK is no longer part of the EU - This means that certain shipments sent to addresses there from us may be subject to tax and / or import duty - All orders sent from RWDWD are sent ‘DDU’ - That is, duty unpaid - any import tax and/or duty is the sole responsibility of the buyer.
If you would like to use our reserve function to group several orders into one large shipment, we can arrange for it to be sent tax and duty pre-paid so you don’t have to worry about it at a later date - Contact us for more information.
Out via unifactor, here's this set of 10 side-steppin', head-twistin' tracks on tape, unlocking your doors of sonic perception with a wicked album titled 'Keychain'.
Fresh in the post from via Cleveland, Ohio, Unifactor HQ, then pit-stopping in Berlin at WW HQ and then sent to Bristol (along with some german chocolate, but that's gone now so don't get your hopes up) - we're glad to have our hands on these already-rare cassettes, which are sold out at source and can now only be found right here, from us...
Unless you're lucky enough to get to the vicinity of a merch table near a Wilted Show (yes, the rumours are true, shows are happening again).
For those that don't know (time to get wise)
Wilted Woman is a prolific woman too, with over 20 records on various labels released over the last decade or so - from Nick Klein's Psychic Liberation, to Chloe Frieda's Alien Jams and many more labels that you should probably check out if you like that weird & wonderful stuff (we do).
She's also part of Shakey together with Silvia Kastel, and SUDS together with Christoph De Babalon (check the wicked debut 12" on anno which we've just restocked for the umphteenth time, and that LAVALAVA LV VA 12"...)
Her music defies easy categorisation, but not in a purposely 'difficult' way or anything, more in the way that her output and the nature of her songs and experiments are raw and impromptu most of the time, free-flowingly dictated by the mood of the moment, influenced by a wild and wide interest in sounds - reflected in her Deep Puddle radio shows on Cashmere Radio where post-punk, grime, nintendo, early computer music, noise, industrial, techno, (german) new wave, and other good sh*t gets played, and knowingly or not - finds its way into her music and contributes to her very own magic mush of 'fun industrial' as someone nicely put it once, whilst playing a track from this album on radio.
'Keychain' balances an uplifted, yet one-foot-one-the-ground sombre mood of ruff chug, steppin' drums, and tripped out arpeggios via worlds of weird-synthesis shot through a myriad of major and minor moods.
Neon-coloured synth sounds light the way through jump & run landscapes - do the double jump, but don't fall down that gap! - with enough drums, madness and bursts of noise to dust off your mental cobwebs and make you grit your teeth whilst you reveal that smile.
From the gnarly shuffle of dancehall'd drum shots, crispy arpeggios and sky blue chords of 'Keyloser', through to the 8bit dreamworld navigations of Twofish Can, the scale-climbing avant-retarde of 'Another Set Of Keys' (which'll set your head straight for the final announcement of Side A 'For Your Information') and through to a whole heap of 'what the fukk is this!?' type bangers on the B side (Spidey Logic! shiiiii')....
....It's all very good stuff, full of fun and actually pretty damn tough at the same time.
A hard balance to strike - but Wilted Woman does it real nicely.
We have a handful of these weird, wonderful, badass beauties -
first come first serve.
