Product Description

CD Description
A more structured rock approach to its performances, utilizing a traditional line-up of drums (Omar Ahsanuddin), bass (Dusty Jermier), organ (Nash Whalen), guitar (Erik 'Ripley' Johnson), and vocals. The band released two acclaimed records in 2006, beginning early in the year with a self-released 10-inch, 'Shrinking moon for you'. The record quickly sold out, after capturing the attention of well-regarded tastemakers, such as Tom Lax and Byron Coley, who penned rave reviews on Siltblog, and in The Wire magazine, respectively. A 7-inch followed on the Sick Thirst label, and received similar praise from music bloggers, as well as from veteran scribe David Fricke in Rolling Stone. A sound that evokes 77-era Suicide, 87-era Loop, Spacemen 3 'Playing with fire', Guru Guru, and The Velvet Underground. Very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars 40 years on the West Coast does it again, 3 Dec 2007
By E. E. F. Pereira - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
this is serious music, a soundtrack for thinking in a world utterly devoid of thinking. In the mid to late 60s America, embroiled in an an unjust and dirty war, examined itself to the very heart and what was produced was art of the highest order that went against the status quo. 40 years on they appear to be treading the same path again, with History repeating itself as farce, and yet again america's finest are producing music that challenges the status quo. Wooden Shjips are clearly inspired by the psychedelic music of 40 years ago and also the emerging music of a germany coming to terms with all the horror of nazism that came from the same period. It is too easy to look at art as being separate to socio-political events - to talk of the swingings 60s and the opulent 80s as a fun time and nothing else - tell that to the people of Selma, Hue , South Wales and Yorkshire.

This music calls on the spirit of Stockhausen, early Can, the Velvet Underground, Guru Guru and the Grateful Dead. Very few people will hear it, very few will buy it but in 100 years people will still listen to it. It's majesty music. I heard it for the first time in late November 2007 in a crowded noisy record fair - it shone through like a beacon. Feed your head and buy it

4.0 out of 5 stars Laid-back psychedelics, 27 Nov 2008
By Mr. R. M. Crawley "bobbazoid" (Croydon, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not as good as Vol 1 but still well worth having. The tempo's slowed down a bit on this one and in some places you can even make out the lyrics! Don't worry though. If you're into farout music this still does it and there's no Xmas number one's in here. This is sit down and zone out type of album.

Track 3 - Lucy's Ride - is fantastic. A rolling pyschedelic foot tapper with a wonderful, almost funky guitar lick. Get in there!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Krautrock..., 21 Jan 2009
By MJ Willis "Voxish" (MK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I first heard SOL 07 on a Mojo giveaway CD 'In Search of Syd' - being a Krautrock fan I had to buy this album by Wooden Shjips.

I'm surprised nobody has noted the references to mid-period Amon Duul 2 - heavy riffs with long spaced-out improvisations. Listen to Stumbling Over Melted Moonlight and Toxicological Whispering on 'Tanze der Lemminge' or Pale Gallery on 'Yeti'. Yeti: Remastered

Great stuff - I hope they come and perform in the UK one day!
