Wolf People - Tidings - Jagjaguwar - JAG158

Wolf People satiate our lust for more of the acid-folk, hard rock hybrids of their 2010 debut Steeple with a stopgap CD of off-cuts, sequenced around found sound snatches to play like it was planned. Funky fusion rhythms Pentangle might have plied rub against nose drone trad-ish tunes, rehabilitated rock flute, and tumbling quicksilver twin guitars.

And garage studio distortions, especially evident on Storm Cloud, foreground artisanal authenticity in an auto-tuned world.
If Traffic had pursued their lone folk adventure John Barleycorn further they might have spread similar Tidings.
