Wooden Shjips - Summer of Love '07 - 7

Labels: Holy Mountain Records – Sick Thirst
Review by: Alex Deller

One long, roiling psych fest fills up both sides of this colourful little fella, a warm mix of nod-inducing bass, disembodied mutterings, tootling organ and reverb-drenched, uhhh, everything buzzing and clamouring while horns parp temporarily and meandering solos flit in and out as they please. The result is one of those orgiastic wig outs that could happily last for hours on end if it were so permitted, and, given the way it’s all so effortlessly brought together it’s hard not to wish for another few minutes worth of fuzz at the very least.
