Wooden Shjips are a vital and refreshingly inspired quartet from San Francisco playing loud rock 'n' roll in a style heavily influenced by the experimentalism of psychedelia, classical minimalism and garage rock excess. Their songs sound something akin to the icy garage rock of early Echo & The Bunnymen, but with Kim Salmon of the Scientists as its frontman. There are hints of krautrock, the trance-inducing organ haze of Suicide with Deerhunter style dance-drone, classic desert-fried garage psych all mixed into one explosive whole.
