Of all the bands at this year’s End of the Road Festival, Wooden Shjips are one of the ones we are looking forward to seeing the most. Even more so over the past few weeks as we’ve regularly listened to the brilliant Lazy Bones on Marc Riley’s BBC Radio 6 show – the first track to get an airing from forthcoming album West.

Lazy Bones takes the spirit of the Velvet Underground and melds it perfectly with the pummeling space rock of Hawkwind to create one of the best tracks of the year so far. Download, turn up to 11, and count the days to the full album release.

West is out on Thrill Jockey in September.
