Description
Wooden Shjips’ Back To Land showcases a noticeable brightness across many tracks, revealing a relaxed vibe the band has hinted at before but fully embraces here. The tense intensity of West has matured into a confident assurance, evident in the interwoven guitar and organ rhythms of “Ruins” and the smoothly captivating guitar solos in “Servants.” Introducing acoustic guitar enriches the band’s soundscape, complementing some of their most straightforward and melodic songwriting to date. Recorded over 11 days at Jackpot Recording Studios in Portland with Kendra Lynn and mixed by Larry Crane, Back To Land delivers some of the band’s most intricate and expansive production.
