The fabbo God is in the TV zine have just reviewed Tissue of Lies, dudes what they are... it says the usual stuff "promising debut of musical genius in waiting" type thing. Ok, don't believe me; it says
"...the affecting, bittersweet 'I Promised Myself I Wouldn't Cry' ... perfectly evokes waking up to a beautiful sunny morning and half an empty bed..."
and that The Ladies' music
"...shows a refreshing understanding of music outside the rock spectrum whilst retaining direct songwriting and a good sense of melody...points for getting the word 'inauspicious' in there, but it matters little when the tender, thoughtful 'Spider' and aforementioned 'I Promised.' have been knocking around your head for several days, the most obvious and natural accolade for a record that there is..."

Reviews
The Ladies have a couple of new reviews, the first one is here:
http://www.vanityproject.co.uk/
and the best bits go
Light bossa nova "Worse" opens the 7 track EP with a gentle tap on the shoulder, "Nightmare #6" continuing the hushed pace, the ghostly backing vocal leading it stealthily into a more rabid strum. This is a soft, considerate record of mild melancholic music that brings to mind Black and the Blue Nile...
which is nice. I always enjoy being compared to bands I've never heard (of).
The Ladies combine John Zorn's careening sense of space with Whitehouse's attention to detail and their hushed vocal is reminiscent of Faust and Dogbox
Hey, I'm not complaining! I expect reviewers only compare to what they know. They do better than I do - all the reviews I wrote mentioned the Pixies or Tori Amos...
And Backlash Magazine is out, which has a lovely review. You'll have to buy it to find out what it says. Visit them here

because it is really rather good...
