Wooden Constructions - People Now People [12", LP]


A few weeks ago i saw WOODEN CONSTRUCTIONS playing a few songs live in a local record store. What an amazing band! Their LP PEOPLE NOW PEOPLE came out last week (only on vinyl by the way) and this was something i definitely needed to have.
How to describe their music? They clearly have their influences, but still never sound like a rip-off of any of the bands they've listened well to. Call it plain post-punk; it won't really do them justice.
I'd say: take some Talking Heads and Joy Division, add a little LCD Soundsystem and The Fall, blend it with some Girls Against Boys and Pixies, and finish it off with a hint of Foals. Then serve it with some afrobeat on the side. A great recipe for 30+ minutes of awesome music.
