Woo’s Debut Is “Timeless,” Writes The Arts Desk

Woo is at radio now with Whichever Way You Are Going, You Are Going Wrong, their debut album now reissued in deluxe form by Independent Project Records. The Arts Desk writes, “Whichever Way You Are Going, You Are Going Wrong sounds timeless. A couple of tracks, ‘Wah Bass’ and ‘Razorblades,’ evoke the more contemplative side of 1975’s Another Green World-era Eno – so a post-1975 origin seems fair. There are also shades of The Durutti Column, Harmonia’s 1975 Deluxe album and a nascent new agey-ness (later, Woo explicitly linked-in with the new age movement: a relationship resulting in their only live shows). Percussion can be pattering, yet insistent. There is an exotic edge. Some of the guitar sounds like a koto. The use of a synth is often more textural than as a melodic focus. Each track is a discrete entity, a mini trip. Quite something.” Read more here.
