Misogynist - Download

Misogynist, a track by This Window, was recorded around 2010, and the piece sits in that uneasy space where affection, resentment, and misread intentions blur into one another. Relationships often carry that dual charge — love and frustration, tenderness and volatility — and when the emotional weather turns unclear, people can end up misjudged or mislabelled.

The weight of the word

The title carries its own history. Misogynist comes from the Greek misogynḗs — miso- meaning “hatred” and gynḗ meaning “woman,” with the English suffix -ist indicating “a person who does something.” In modern use it can describe entrenched prejudice against women, but the track plays with the tension between accusation and misunderstanding. It hints at how quickly a person can be branded with a word that may not reflect the deeper, more complicated truth of a relationship’s dynamics.


Extractivism -  a 2026 album from This Window

This digital album brings together a collection of new tracks that have never been released before, alongside rediscovered pieces and fresh remixes. It offers a new chapter in the long, shape‑shifting story of This Window — a project that has existed on the fringes of experimental music since the 1980s.

Formed within the UK’s cassette‑culture underground, This Window has always operated in the borderlands: part post‑industrial, part minimal synth, part sound‑art, part lo‑fi experimentation. Across decades of tapes, vinyl, CD‑Rs and digital releases, the project has remained defiantly independent, favouring texture, atmosphere and emotional undercurrents over conventional song structures. The sound has shifted with each era — from raw four‑track recordings to more sculpted electronic work — but the ethos has stayed constant: intimate, handmade, exploratory.

This collection continues that lineage. These tracks, newly uncovered or reworked, map the project’s ongoing evolution while retaining the unmistakable fingerprints of This Window’s world: shadows, static, memory, and the quiet intensity of ideas captured in the moment.

Don't Think I Can Make It

Image
A fractured transmission across sound and image Don't Think I Can Make It by This Window is a sonic and visual meditation on disconnection, delay, and the quiet collapse of communication. The track pulses with electronic textures that drift in and out of clarity—like signal interference on a long-distance call—while a thumping drum line anchors the listener in a bodily rhythm, a heartbeat beneath the static. Free Download The vocal narrative is not sung but spoken, dissected fragments from a voicemail. Phrases such as "Hope all is well" , "We'll try to connect later" , "I don't think I can make it" , and finally, "Ciao" —are delivered with clinical detachment, yet they carry the emotional weight of absence. These lines also appear in the track Ciao Again by This Window, suggesting a thematic echo or recursive loop in the artist’s work which was released on The Sampler #05 (CD). The accompanying video draws inspiration from Robert Ra...

Dance This Way

Image
The death of romance "Dance this Way" is a short, searing piece of emotional reportage. In just a handful of lines, it captures the humiliation of being treated as an accessory rather than a partner. The narrator’s repeated “I hate you, I really hate you” is not melodrama but the blunt edge of betrayal — the kind that happens not in grand betrayals, but in the small, public moments where someone you love makes you feel invisible. The scene is painfully familiar: a couple arrives together at a favourite bar to see a favourite band — a shared ritual. But instead of sharing the night, the man abandons his partner to socialise with his friends. When he does return, it’s not to reconnect, but to issue a command: “dance this way.” The woman is reduced to a performer, summoned at will, her emotional state irrelevant. When she cries, he laughs. The dream — of romance, of mutual respect — collapses in that instant. Objectification The man’s behaviour treats th...

Crash '87

Crash '87 - Discogs Release Information Track: Crash ’87 Artist: This Window   Release: Appears on the cassette Extraction (1989, EE Tapes, Belgium) 1 Format: C40 Chrome Cassette, experimental/industrial/abstract Compilation Context: The track is part of a body of work that merges sound collage, dark ambient textures, and conceptual art. The cassette itself is a curated sequence where tracks bleed into one another, resisting discrete consumption and instead demanding immersion. Crash ’87 is not a standalone single but embedded in a larger experimental release that foregrounds fragmentation, layering, and the instability of recorded media. The accompanying video, shows a mouse in the palm of hands and links to The Genetics of Art and the National Mouse Club 2 . The mouse becomes both a literal and symbolic subject: a fragile, living creature held in human hands, and simultaneously a metaphor for control, breeding, and manipulation. In the context of Crash ’87 , the mouse ima...
