Wooden Shjips Announce ‘Back To Land’ Album, Share Trailer
Watch a very tongue-in-cheek album trailer from the psych loons.
Thrill Jockey is set to release the new album from Wooden Shjips, ‘Back to Land’, on 11th November.
The psych-specialists celebrated the news with a very tongue-in-cheek trailer for the record. Filling the obligation to get people excited, it opens with the statement ‘WOODEN SHJIPS ARE BACK IN ACTION’. What follows is a mish-mash of hazy footage and the promise of ‘SIX CLASSIC HITS. PLUS TWO OTHER SONGS.’ Brilliant.
