Synopsis

Album Description

While past releases saw the band's avant folk dosed somewhat conservatively with the blues, free jazz, heavy psych, and metal, "Gipsy Freedom" brings these other, non-folk elements to the fore and generally turns the volume up. It's the band's most confounding and rewarding release. You may hear the faint echoes of "Island Harvest"-era Albert Ayler on one track, Iommi-derived riffage on the next, torch songs that sound torn straight from the Gershwin songbook on the next, and Can-style epic grooves on the next. Radically different, yet sustaining the group's high level of musical and thematic consistency, "Gipsy Freedom" is the sound of a band breaking out of the box and using the discarded shapes to construct strange new universes.

CD Reviews

Maybe the best from one of the best bands out there right no

Benjamin D. Collins | Fayetteville, GA USA | 04/08/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you are into the whole psyche-folk thing, (Animal Collective, Six Organs, Joanna Newsom, etc.) then WWVV are for you. If you haven't heard them already this is a great starting point and if you have heard them then get excited because it is great! Possibly their best, which I feel guilty about saying because it is the best recorded one and i don't want to betray my love of the low-fi asthetic, but it is great to hear such an intersting band in rich complex production.

Track two may be the best song they have ever done, it is a really long improv thing that at seven and a half minutes becomes one of the most beautiful things i have ever heard.

SERIOUSLY RECOMMENDED!!!"
