Hi All,
It’s coming up on the 10 year anniversary of the Woob reboot but unfortunately there’s little cause for celebration here at Woob HQ as a big part of my life, my friend, love and companion - Sarah recently passed a way after a short illness. Her life tragically cut short just halfway through, she will be greatly missed.
Some of you may know of her as Sarah Air. Behind the scenes she was a big influence on the world of Woob and was instrumental to the reboot happening back in 2009/10. She also made sure physical editions continued in 2015 when I got major Post Office burn out! Sarah was an inspiration to the sound of Woob, most notably with ‘Have Landed’ but more recently she inspired the two ‘New Program’ albums and as an 80s kid, like myself, she was an influential sounding board on Overrun Exe.
Most importantly though she was a loving mother to our two young children who will miss her immensely.
Before she passed we discussed a commemorative album of Woob tracks she loved/inspired. A way she could live on through the music. This will hopefully see a vinyl release sometime next year when I feel able to tackle it.
As a very private person it has been difficult to share this information but as my music is so influenced by my environment I thought it important.
New future releases... as a now single dad with two mini Woob mouths to feed! I am having to force myself to carry on...
a beat based album was due earlier this year but obviously It didn’t get finished however there is a chill companion album almost ready to go which will be released imminently that includes previously unreleased (on download) tracks plus some other stuff. Also as Sarah was such a big influence on the 2nd ‘New Program’ album スリープ 研究 プログラム it’s getting a permanent Isometric release as of today.
Thanks everyone for your support.

Aw, that's terrible news. The second era of Woob has some fantastic albums, hope he's all right. RIP Sarah.
