WOOM - The Hunt
This experimental pop duo waste no time in appealing to your curiosity: it's difficult to keep track of what instruments you're hearing at any given point and the production style is distinctly their own. Yet despite the kitchen-sink dynamic, the arrangements are minimal and the album plays out in a simple sequence - each track seems to skitter along through fleeting hooks and peculiar campfire noises before fizzling out and starting over.
WOOM are Sara Magenheimer and Eben Portnoy, a restless pair who seem to have no fixed abode. In 2008 they defected from their band Fertile Crescent after a tour with Deerhoof and relocated to a barn in eastern Massachusetts to tinker through the winter until they had managed to finish their debut album, Muu’s Way - which was recently released on Ba Da Bing.
