Flood Heralds The “Eccentric” Woo

“To call eccentric English brothers Clive and Mark Ives an enigmatic delight only scratches the surface of their work with Woo,” Flood writes. The site has a review of the band’s new releases on Independent Project Records, explaining that “Two of Woo’s latter-day archival efforts, 2016’s Robot X and 2017’s Xylophonics, have been cobbled together by Los Angeles’ Independent Project Records as a completely new, tied-together project with a seamless flow that wouldn’t have seemed probable from the outset. Dabbling in odd, electronically treated acoustic instrumentation and edgy editing techniques where everything sounds as if it’s melting and quickly reshaped into new form, both releases took elements recorded in previous settings, twice-over deconstructed them, then remodeled them into a future-forward sound without much precedent.”
