Cleaning Women - Washer (2025) [Official Digital Download]

Washer is Cleaning Women's fifth album. It started from scratch with the construction of the new Vacuum Sound Space studio back in 2020. Things took time, material was created and discarded, arrangements were edited and the form of the content needed work. All instruments are still homemade, but as the band searched for a new sound, even the responsibilities within the band were rearranged. Percussionist CW03 sometimes clung to the stringed instruments and laundryman CW04 also scooped the rhythm section with his robotic hands, still hitting the melodic pins of a clothes horse with one limb. CW01 wove a web together with his electric Viola de Gamba/Cello hybrid and his coffee-bean-can-bouzouki.

On the other hand, the whole five-year period has not been spent just working on the album. Since the previous album, Intersubjectivity, the band has also composed film music on many fronts, including the Oscar-nominated Italian short film Le Pupille, as well as live film scores, such as the collaborative film project Katastrofielokuvien loppukohtauksia (Final Scenes of Disaster Films) by the award-winning artist couple Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen, which premiered on an open-air cinema at Kansalaistori in Helsinki to over 11 000 spectators. From this project, the instrumental track Vortex was rearranged and ended up on the album. The album also includes the longest recorded track of Cleaning Women's career, the almost nine-minute Caput Mortuum.
