"Back To Land" is the fourth studio album by Wooden Shjips, released in CD format by Thrill Jockey. This record marks a new chapter for the band, blending their signature psychedelic rock with warmer tones and more melodic structures. The songs evoke a sense of open landscapes and freedom, reflecting both introspection and expansive soundscapes that invite listeners on a hypnotic journey. Wooden Shjips are renowned for their minimalist approach to psych-rock, characterized by repetitive grooves, fuzzy guitars, and trance-inducing rhythms. Since forming in San Francisco in 2006, they have become key figures in the modern psychedelic scene with acclaimed albums like "Dos" and "West." Their music has been praised for its ability to merge vintage influences with contemporary energy. The label behind this release, Thrill Jockey Records, is an independent powerhouse based in Chicago known for supporting innovative artists across genres such as experimental rock, electronic music, and folk since 1992.
