Much like Radiohead and The Notwist, Woods on Fire like to studiously incorporate both acoustic and electronic sounds into something unorthodox. These Utrecht-based art rockers, however, employ an entirely different dynamic. Instead of compressing subtle artifice and stirring prog rock passages into a dense fluidity, Woods on Fire’s songs expand like majestic sonic landfills. The LP was recorded at Einstürzende Neubauten’s legendary Berlin-based Andere Baustelle Studio.
