Woven Bones – In And Out And Back Again (2010)

Obeying the old adage about leaving ‘em wanting more, the Austin trio give us just 9 tracks in 26 minutes – packed with walls of guitar noise, dirty riffs, pounding primeval rhythms and slashing distortion. Taking a cue from the Jesus and Mary Chain and the Velvet Underground (with additional nods to Suicide, The Cramps and the Damned), Woven Bones makes raw sinews-exposed rock’n’roll from blasts of indie guitars (‘I’ll Be Runnin’), primal rock’n’roll drumbeats (‘Creepy Bones’) or extravagantly garagey fuzzrock (‘7 Year Mirror’). They sweeten the darkness, however, with plenty of melody, especially on the 60s garage-poppy ‘Guess You Already Knew’. It’s an outpouring of pent-up passion that despite the fuzz and the crepuscular influences is pretty ecstatic when it comes to presentation. ~ Ged M, SoundsXP
