V.
The dyed-in-the-wool psych-rock band returns with some of their most accessible songs to date, full of fuzz-pedal jams that capture moments of fleeting happiness in dark days.
Chvrches get a production boost on the overlong Love Is Dead, while fifth full-length V. erodes Wooden Shjips’ edge away for good, and post-punks Numb.er debut with all style and little substance.
For their fifth record, V, Wooden Shijps' frontman and songwriter Ripley Johnson drew on the Portland forest fires and the flammable political atmosphere of 2017.
