~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Confident in its artful eclecticism, calmly subversive, and wholly unironic, WOOM's debut record Muu's Way compels listeners’ attention to the Moment while swirling a deep current of contrasting styles. Combining the devastating emotional intensity of Panda Bear's Young Prayer and the sharply focused rhythmic instincts of ESG, WOOM eschews sentimentality in favor of visceral experience. Focus on a point in the mid-distance and allow it to fuzz and fade a moment before slapping it back into place with a blink; this equates roughly to WOOM's aural impact. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
