While many think of psychedelic rock as the music of choice in smoky rooms where people strive to see fractals in the walls, Wooden Shjips takes a different route with "Lazy Bones." Sounding like a few chords, organ drone and bleeding guitars decided to ride a horse through the mountains on amphetamines, this track is a raved-up rocker that blasts its minimalist setup (think Krautrock godfathers Neu!) to a glorious extreme. Group leader Ripley Johnson's other band, Moon Duo, is already responsible for one of our 2011 favorites in Mazes, and this new Wooden Shjips material seems to be heading down a similar path to blown-out excellence. Check out West on September 13 via Thrill Jockey.
