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.
