Album Notes & Community Reviews

Offering a uniquely hyperkinetic take on British indie pop, The Woodentops' debut album blends acoustic jangle with rapid, dance-floor-ready rhythms. The incredibly fast strumming and breathless, energetic vocals anticipated the cross-pollination of indie rock and club music that would define the impending Madchester scene.
