Unheard nuggets all over this one... Palto Flats and New General Catalogue are partnering to release Awaawaa, a new record by Woo, the longstanding project of British brothers Mark and Clive Ives. Undertones of: Jon Hassell, Holger Czukay, Durutti Column, Popol Vuh, This Heat... A Hearty Recommendation From Us! Includes 6 bonus tracks not available on the LP version. Featuring never before heard recordings from Woos archives, Awaawaa sees the band at their most evocative and psychedelic - presenting a suitelike, atmospheric collection of stunning miniatures. Recorded in South London during 1975-82, Awaawaa lines up chronologically with other Woo releases, such as Whichever Way You Are Going, You Are Going Wrong, and touches upon synth, ambient, electronics, dub, and even krautrock. Following re-issues on Drag City and Emotional Rescue, Awaawaa presents a new chapter in Woos celebrated discography, further distilling the brothers unique and otherworldy vision.
