Strap in for travels beyond the galaxy to tranced-out cosmic
bliss! Sick Thirst presents Vol. 2, the second compilation of
hard-to-find Wooden Shjips tracks. Vol. 2 digs deep to collect
the bandÆs Sub Pop and Mexican Summer singles, two
self-released European tour singles, and a track from Yeti
magazine, for nearly 44 minutes of fuzzed-out psych jams. Not
just for completists, Vol. 2 contains the essential live
standards ôLoose Lips,ö ôDeathÆs Not Your Friend (Live)ö, and
ôI Hear the Vibrations (E-Z Version),ö plus savage covers of
Neil YoungÆs ôVampire Bluesö and Serge GainsbourgÆs ôContact.ö
Wooden Shjips is a trance-rock quartet from San Francisco
consisting of Omar Ahsanuddin (drums), Dusty Jermier (bass),
Nash Whalen (organ), and Ripley Johnson (guitar and vocals).
Their sound crosses the icy garage rock of early Echo and the
Bunnymen with the sun-bleached tremolo-punk of the Scientists.
Hints of krautrock, the trance-inducing organ haze of Suicide,
Velvets-style dance-drone, classic desert-fried garage psych,
and the mysterious, obscure Japanese lysergic-rock band Les
Rallizes Denudes are all mixed into one explosive whole. The
band has released two acclaimed LPs and a previous collection
of rarities on the Holy Mountain label. Their recordings and
performances have received praise from well-regarded
tastemakers such as Tom Lax, Byron Coley, John Mulvey, and
David Fricke.
