"More of what we love, a relentless, neverending blown out fuzzy groove, all warm whirring
organ, fuzz guitar, and throbbing bass, the drums a super solid motorik
framework, the vocals sort of sung / spoken, reverb and delay EVERYWHERE, the
strangest addition is the haunting horns on the A side, that drift and moan
ghost like over the fuzz jam below. One song spread out over two sides, by side
2, the band have locked it in and sound like they are never gonna stop. A
looped cyclical minimal fuzzrock jam that sounds almost like some crazy
crossbreeding of the Doors and Spacemen 3, which should appeal to Circle,
Salvatore and Magyar Posse fans as much as all the druggy psychrock dronesters
out there." -Aquarius Records

Dance, California b/w Clouds Over Earthquake 7" (ST-01)


You can see the video for this single at http://sickthirst.com.


"'Dance, California' locks onto a three-note, twangy, nuclear beach groove and hangs out there for the duration, guitar slashery (in the single-note sweepstakes for a good long while) shooting over the top like artillery fire. On the other side, an atmospheric, slow drone and steady pulse frame blistery lead and – what’s that, vocals? Oh, so nice, and sounding more like the new incarnation of F/i with each listen." -Doug Mosurak, Dusted

"I think a year from now we’re all going to be very tired of any discussions centering around “modern psychedelia”, but until then, Wooden Shjips are the band to beat in that arena. For the second time in six weeks they’ve unloaded a single of raw and frantic psych rumble, this time 50% instrumental & packing a lethal dose of earbleed to boot." -Agony Shorthand
  



Shrinking Moon for You 10" (WS-001)

"...tight-wound repeato psych guitar raunch with spoony (maybe even imaginary) percussion, surprisingly Rev-like keys, and vocals buried under burning driftwood. It's a nice one." -Byron Coley, Wire

"...blissful lo-fi space rock meditations in line with Hawkwind, F/i, and a less amphetamized Comets on Fire...a sounding board for musical ideas that are immensely satisfying..." -Doug Mosurak, Dusted

"...Wooden Shjips seem to have their wagon hitched to a post psychedelic/punk damaged Krautrock environ that just not enough people are astute enough to homestead." -Tom Lax, Siltblog 

"Intense, layered, guitar acid-wash motorbike rock from a San Francisco act who, with one record, are now one of my favorite bands on the planet circa 2006. Imagine an ear-blowing cross between Suicide, “White Light/White Heat” Velvet Underground, the guy that did that "Get Stoned Ezy with the Afflicted Man" record and some nut with a tape loop machine, and you’ve got Wooden Shjips on this wide-grooved psychedelic head trip." -Agony Shorthand
