Take a lot of wandering guitars à la Wishbone A, throw in a slice of psychedelia, add a pinch of ‘reedian’ Velvet U and serve yourself a Wooden Shjips ‘V’ Prosit!
Wooden Shjips’ 'V' is their fifth sytudio album (the first in five years) fully written by frontman Ripley Johnson and released on May 25, 2018 by Thrill Jockey Records

Delving into a Wooden Shijps album is like being Sam Beckett in Quantum Leap.
