Wooden Shjips - Volume 2

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 band's 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
"Loose Lips," "Death's Not Your Friend (Live)", and "I Hear the
Vibrations (E-Z Version)," plus savage covers of Neil Young's "Vampire
Blues" and Serge Gainsbourg's "Contact."

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.
