San Francisco's Wooden Shjips, influenced by both the Doors and Spacemen 3, filled Wooden Shjips (2007) with detuned garage-grade riffs and hypnotic throbbing rhythm.
The single Loose Lips/ Starting To Dream (Sub Pop, 2007) expressed this
praxis even better.
The Wooden Shjips' Ripley Johnson also formed Moon Duo that debuted with the
EPs Love On The Sea (Sick Thirst, 2009) and Killing Time (Sacred Bones, 2009).
The EP Contact (Mexican Summer, 2009) contains a Serge Gainsbourg composition and their live staple I Hear The Vibrations.
Vol 1 and Vol 2 (2010) collect and remix singles.
Dos (2009) is mostly filler, and highly derivative filler, including
the ten minute Down By The Sea and the Doors-ian Aquarian Time.
West (Thrill Jockey, 2011) opted for relatively shorter songs that
enhanced the Alan Vega-style crooning and the Robbie Krieger-style guitar
playing.
Lazy Bones is a good compromise between their trademark droning style
and pop hooks.
The garage rave-up Looking Out brings a bit of juvenile ebullience
to their usually slow and heavy proceeding.
Alas, most of the songs are uneventful and the longer Flight goes
nowhere.
