I’m not sure if they are still active, just the three albums to date with the last in 2019 which was about the time they relocated to London from Sweden. My feeling is that they are still going and that hopefully a new one will come. If I find out anything more I’ll let you know here.

Thunder. Behind Closed Doors. 3rd album. One of my favourite Rock Bands, a lot of Free/Bad Co DNA in their music.

Earlier talk of JO+TL prompted me to get this out @Deeg, I’ve dropped her a line (via bandcamp) asking if they have any plans for a new album.

Wooden Shjips | Back to Land | 2013
Sticking with psychedelic rock, the kind of stuff that would have inspired JÖ+LT, one of my favourite psyche bands and fine contemporary exponents who give it the 60s/70s Bay Area style.

Moon Duo | Live in Ravenna | 2014
Ripley Johnson (of Wooden Shjips) started up a side project with his other half Sanae Yamada to create more psychedelic rock with a different twist. This is a cracking live album recorded on a hot sultry night on the Adriatic, I would have loved to have been there, Sanae Yamada said: “Ravenna was memorable for a number of reasons, the most prominent being the really very intense heat, and the setting Hanabi has an outdoor stage on the beach, the Adriatic Sea only meters away,” the band’s Sanae Yamada said: “The show that night, and the recording of it, sort of encapsulates everything that was happening at the time the heat wave, the journey, and the shift in the energy and composition of the band.”

I bought this version (on Pink Floyd Records) of Wish You Were Here back in 2016, on the day it came out and it’s lain, unopened and unplayed, for six years! I’d better give it a listen!
