Head On the Ground

Release Date:  2013

By Pitchfork

Reviewed February 11, 2013

The Woolen Men put out plenty of music on their own before hooking up with Woodsist for its forthcoming full-length self-titled debut. But if you didn't know any better, you'd swear they magically materialized from the spare parts of the label's other acts. With its quick count-off, clanging guitar, galloping drums, distant organ wheezing, and underwater vocals, "Head on the Ground" typifies the "melodic 1960s rock with '90s indie production values" that Woodsist is known for. The Woolen Men perhaps are a little more rock'n'roll than their labelmates, with singer Rafael Spielman affecting an impressive garage-dude drawl that contrasts with the song's effortlessly bounding drive. The Woolen Men is due out March 5, a date that sounds about right for a band intended to be enjoyed with the windows rolled down.
