I am so going to see them open up for Spectrum in two weeks.

I really like Wooden Shjips, but not feeling that one at all. It's not even slightly amusing. Maybe because I HATE the original. :/
― Bilderbooger (van smack), Sunday, 6 June 2010 19:42 (thirteen years ago) link
Shjips are cool 'n all, but I have a tough time imagining needing more than one record by them (for me it's the first... tho' the singles comps are good too).Same thing for Moon Duo.

I am digging this, but I've never heard the LCD Soundsystem track.

in the end I'd rather just listen to "White Light/White Heat"

Gotta see these guys one of these days. Vol 2 is grate.

Saw them in Antwerp, Belgium last April. Dude loaned his cymbals to Yob :)
― Nate Carson, Monday, 7 June 2010 04:57 (thirteen years ago) link
The Shjips are fun live. I think I have the first album and first singles comp., can't say I play them a whole lot, though.

there was a dancey moshpit of sorts during their set at ATP. well fun.
― gnarly sceptre, Monday, 7 June 2010 13:32 (thirteen years ago) link
I cast my lot with Wooden Shjips fans. The krautrockish beat & the fine-ass guitar skree make for an irresistable combo for me. The 1st LP is the best, but its all good.
― ImprovSpirit, Monday, 7 June 2010 15:39 (thirteen years ago) link
I listen to the first lp the least out of everything they've released.I dunno, seem like a strong singles band to me (based on the comps).Would really love to see a Wooden Shjips/White Hills bill.
― Trip Maker, Monday, 7 June 2010 15:41 (thirteen years ago) link
I totally went through a "phase" last summer with my "Loose Lips" 7". I just picked up the Moon Duo CD but haven't listened yet, and I almost bought another WS 7" a few days ago but it was like NINE DOLLARS

Isn't it great? I think I like WS more though.

Somebody described the sound of this band as a cross between Neu and Quicksilver Messenger Service...is this right? What album(s) sound most like this?
― hapshash jar tempo (Drugs A. Money), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 00:04 (thirteen years ago) link
All of their output sounds the same. Vol. 1 is their best collection. Neu! and Quicksilver is more how I would describe the side project, Moon Duo.

im kinda obsessed with this new moon duo track http://soundcloud.com/souterraintransmissions/moon-duo-mazes

"goners" is pretty great too

this is great
― dynamicinterface, Tuesday, 29 March 2011 23:03 (thirteen years ago) link
soooo yeah, this new moon duo record is great? i mean, i expected to like it, but i think i *love* it. I saw them two weeks ago and liked the show, but it felt pretty one-note overall -- not a huge surprise, really. but the record, while not hugely eclectic, is nicely textured/layered.
― tylerw, Thursday, 28 April 2011 15:26 (thirteen years ago) link
It's my favorite record out of the MD/WS camp so far, I think. The remixes are pretty nice, too.Played Sonic Booms remix of Scars on the air last night.
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 28 April 2011 15:30 (thirteen years ago) link
where does one get the remixes?
― tylerw, Thursday, 28 April 2011 15:31 (thirteen years ago) link
Mine came with Mazes as a bonus disc when I bought it at a local indie shop.

oh bummerz. and i bought it from the band at the show!
― tylerw, Thursday, 28 April 2011 15:34 (thirteen years ago) link
(the album itself, i mean. no remix disc included)
I got it at google.
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 28 April 2011 15:36 (thirteen years ago) link
It was included in a limited number of copies of Mazes, I guess.
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 28 April 2011 15:37 (thirteen years ago) link
hmm google, is that like a new record store or something?

OTM. Perfect vibe throughout the whole thing.

guitar sound throughout is just like "yessssssss"

OK I am excited about this now! Hadn't even been on my radar.

This is awesome!
I really like the Wooden Shjips cover of the NZ Flying Nun band Snapper - Buddy

like the cover...what is that font from? looks really familiar.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 16:29 (twelve years ago) link
Is that similar to the font on some of the Sun Araw stuff?
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 16:42 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, guess it's a little like this?http://www.urgenteplaten.nl/wp-content/uploads/sun-araw-on-patrol-203x203.jpgbut i feel like the shjips thing is referencing something old...come on this is IMPORTANT.

sounds pretty good but on first pass not as fierce as "Dos"

gonna be tough to beat this year's moon duo record tbh.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 6 September 2011 20:27 (twelve years ago) link
I actually haven't heard that yet. Got it queued up right after this Sun Araw/Eternal Tapestry (Night Gallery). It's psych-rock Tuesday.
― dmr, Tuesday, 6 September 2011 21:18 (twelve years ago) link
pretty heavy takedown of the new one on dusted: http://dustedmagazine.com/reviews/6679dunno, listening now it sounds great to me. obviously not a reinvention, but the hi-fi sound makes it different enough for me. reviewer just seems to be tired of them, which maybe is understandable, but i'm not tired of them yet!
― tylerw, Wednesday, 14 September 2011 16:09 (twelve years ago) link
"These fellas do nothing to prove their worth" is a bit much but he does have a point. I'm enjoying the album though.
― skip, Wednesday, 14 September 2011 16:26 (twelve years ago) link
I'm liking Moon Duo's "Mazes" a lot but I don't feel like I need to go back to "West," at some point it does get kinda like they're spinning their wheels
― dmr, Wednesday, 14 September 2011 16:28 (twelve years ago) link
loving the backwards sounds on "rising". I dunno, this sounds really strong to me!
― tylerw, Wednesday, 14 September 2011 16:53 (twelve years ago) link

an ironic criticism of this band imho

Man, I got that email from Thrill Jockey about the limited Moon Duo Halloween 12", but it was already sold out by the time I got home a couple hours later to try and order it.
Any of you score one?
