Wooden Shjips - Vol. 1
San Francisco’s Wooden Shjips are under the influence of their locale’s long history of psychedelia and garage rock, broadening these traditions with shoegaze distortion techniques and dance drone loops. It’s a singles collection rather than an album, but only ‘Dance California’ seems to have any sort of stand-out appeal with its slow groove inducing an effective sonic trance. Unfortunately the rest suffer from over-indulgent effects and a lack of interesting ideas which detract from the band’s character rather than enhance it. Matt Nesbitt
