At last year's SXSW, Wooden Shjips was the name ringing in the ears of writers who dig the drone (including Rolling Stone's David Fricke). The San Francisco band makes skillful use of repetition, using the earthy clay of guitar fuzz, delayed vocals, and motorik rhythms to build an altar for sonic meditations of the psychedelic variety. The "trance" tag on the group's MySpace page is apt, as this is the kind of cosmic debris that makes rock music transcendent.
