The Oakland pair simply known as WOOM is so enchanting in their pop quirky-ness I feel like hugging them when I listen to Muu’s Way. Their songs remind me of a friend of mine who’s obssessed with Iceland and sweaters. I don’t know why. All it is is Sara on synthesized sounds and main vocals and Eben on guitars. Sounds like a simple set-up but their tracks can range from the ridiculously minimal folk pop to extensively layered sound scapes that fill up your room, your head and the universe.

I like Sara’s vocals – it borders on being childlike but so honest and heartfelt at the same time.
Woom’s got Muu’s Way remixed by the likes of Deerhoof, Xiu Xiu and Japanther amongst other awesome folks for their aptly named Muus’ Way Remixed.
