Wooden Shjips - Back To Land (2013)
The only problem with this record is that each of the 8 tracks, with an average length of just over 5 minutes, just aren’t long enough.

commentsI hate always playing it safe with music and this certainly takes me well out of my comfort zone. And this record which I’m listening to for the first time since picking it out of a bargain bin, does so in such a welcome and refreshing way.
commentsThis Boston three piece make quite the racket, albeit a beautiful one - and it’s all done on a two string slide bass, saxophone and drums.
commentsDon’t you dear judge me for listening to this! I grew hair on my bollocks listening to this record. Who doesn’t love Joe Walsh’s slide guitar on “Victim Of Love”?
commentsAnother sonic gem from Portland’s Ripley Johnson (Wooden Shjips) and Sanae Yamada. Some very tasty and oh-so-spacey guitar playing over hooky keyboards and some great drum work from John Jeffrey, elevate this to a thing of mesmeric beauty.
