Wooden Shjips - West
(Thrill Jockey)
(Thrill Jockey)
We've always loved Wooden Shjips. Everything they've done has been great and West is no exception. Starts off with Black Smoke Rise which a pounding space rocker that never manages to wear itself thin. Later on comes the track Home which has a 70's hard rock riff with backing organs and slightly tripped out vocals and every bit of it is hypnotizing. Then around the three minute mark it snaps you back with a solo. The whole album has that great relationship, you get really into whatever rhythm they set out early on and then when they change it up it's only to get crazy. You could argue that's just what Stoner Rock is and you'd be right but Wooden Shjips has always done it better than most and, with West, they've proven that again.
