Our friends over at The Quietus just did a nice interview with Wooden Shjips, who will be performing at Incubate next month. They will be part of the unique project Wineke works with Wooden Shjips, together with Wineke Gartz.

As the lights flash and blink with an ever-increasing intensity to coalesce with the relentless hypno-monotony of the music they’re accompanying, the senses begin to yield to uncoordinated helplessness. The drones are swirling into an infinite vortex that only serves to disorientate the giddy surroundings framing what’s going on. As Wooden Shjips take full flight into as-yet-undiscovered dimensions of time and space, guitarist Ripley Johnson, his face framed by flowing locks of greying hair and an extended beard and with a pair of Wayfarers perched on his nose, begins to coax unholy howls from his instrument. As the noise reaches its zenith, his right hand moves to his sunglasses. As he removes them, his nose and eyes go with them and where once was a face is now a gateway to the never-ending reaches of the cosmos.
