Women in Technology is the second studio album by British recording artist White Town,released on 24 February 1997. The album is most known for the song "Your Woman" which was its only top 40 single. The song received much acclaim and reached #1 in the UK Singles Chart. A second single,released as a promo,was made of "Wanted" and failed to chart anywhere. The album's third single "Undressed" reached 57. The album was recorded entirely at Jyoti Mishra's home studio.
In early 1997,Jyoti Mishra posted five copies of his extended play >Abort,Retry,Fail? to various radio stations. This caused the EP's lead track "Your Woman" to receive heavy rotation on stations,resulting in Mishra getting a deal with EMI.[7] Through Chrysalis Records,a label owned by EMI,Mishra released the second White Town full-length Women In Technology,which produced three singles:the widely successful "Your Woman",the promo-only "Wanted",and "Undressed". The album was recorded and mixed to cassette tape using a Tascam 688 multitrack recorder and an Atari ST.[7]
