Product Description

BBC Review

Appropriating primitive rock riffs and then subjecting them to subversive psych-tinged FX-laden ju-ju, Wooden Shjips generate manic, warped pulses of pop-rock that don't just make your ears bleed but get your toes tapping at the same time.

Emanating out of the dissonant fringes of the San Francisco noise scene, their second full length album continues to plough the visceral furrows first heard on 2007's self-titled debut and last year's collection of singles and rarities, Vol.1

Of course 'full length' in the context of Wooden Shjips generally runs to about 35 minutes give or take a few seconds of ear-splitting din. Yet that small but perfectly malformed number means there's not much of the kind of chaff encountered on CDs lasting twice as long. Quality not quantity is the deciding factor here.

Down By The Sea occupies 10 of those precious minutes. The spatter-pattern from Erik 'Ripley' Johnson's twisted guitar and wrecked harmonics, spray madly across monolithic slabs of rhythm like some turbo-charged Jackson Pollock.

Drawing upon obvious influences such as the Velvet Underground and Loop, their instrumental frenzy is topped by largely indecipherable vocals. Impressionistic and resistant to any concrete meaning, they're like a collision between Jim Morrison's sneer and Damo Suzuki of Can's haunted whispers.

In the resulting obscure poetry that such an encounter produces, the brain composites these sombre murmurings into a vestigial sense that's not so much understood as simply felt.

An album of experimental music you can cut the rug to: every dream home (with or without heartaches) should have one! --Sid Smith

Love it that bands can still sound like this. Was loitering in Fopp records looking for a bargain when this came on. First track had me hooked. Motorbike comes on like the late lamented Loop: a grinding riff, inaudible vocals and lovely, sinuous guitar layered over the top. Stunning. For So Long sounds like Down by the River era Neil Young and Fallin' starts almost like a pop song, driven by Suicide style organ. Nothing original here but Wooden Shjips innovate as well as imitate and wear a huge range of influences well (the aforementioned bands, 'Kraut Rock' etc). If you are a fan of psychedelic rock or liked the heavier 'shoegaze' bands in the late 80s you will be playing this for weeks.
I can't wait to get into their back catalogue.

With great enthusiasm I ordered "Dos" just to find more fantastic psyche-trancerock from Wooden Shjips! As previous recordings they maintain the concept of few,but long pieces of music. Some tracks show their "quest for the golden guitar riff",( not in the macho rock'n'roll way )but the psychedelic noise is tuned down a little bit. They can be described as a cross between Hawkwind,Neu/kraut,early Pink Floyd (and a touch of Doors-vocal style would some people say) ,but maintain both old and new (postrock?)impulses. W.S.is certainly no copyist band,always having their peculiar sound. As with the two other cd's "Dos" left me wanting more desperately,but that's the way it is with delicatessen ,isn't it? Buy the comp cd and their first album too! Exquisite!!!

Pleasant But Overhyped 20 April 2010
Format:Audio CD
I bought this album on the strength of the reviews above and others I'd read in the rock press. Maybe I'm missing something, but this album, while pleasant enough is really not that great shakes. Most of the tracks sound like the playouts or middle sections from truly great 'psychedelic' albums from the last, er, 40 years, such as the Velvet Undergound's 1969 or, the Rain Parade's debut. This is really nothing more than jolly background music while doing cooking or household chores. Nothing wrong with that, but still...
