Seahawks & Woo

Seahawks & Woo

After reissuing a trilogy of Woo albums on Emotional Rescue - Whichever Way You Are Going, Into The Heart Of Love and A La Luna - in 2019 Emotional Response and Ocean Moon came together for a special collaborative release where Seahawks took the music of WOO on a journey to the inner sanctum; immersive, psychoactive and phased to perfection.

For those who know not the music of WOO, you enter a truly unique sound, where brothers Clive and Mark Ives invite you to their combination of acoustic instrumentation (primarily guitar and clarinet) and electronics (live to tape) in a way that reflects the past, present and future. Recording since the 1970s, with only a handful of albums released in the subsequent years, there has been a considerable discover and reappraisal of their music in the last decade. With the now classic original albums reissued, there is now a continuing treasure trove of hundreds of unreleased songs steadily appearing.

In this context, sonic ambient explorers Seahawk’s dived in to the tapes and reimagined, remixed and rearranged Woo’s music, adding to their dubby, mesmeric, playful and undefinabley recognisable ethereal and timeless pop music. Coming together especially for this anniversary event, Seahawk’s Jon Tye and Woo’s Clive Ives present an exclusive DJ / VJ set. Prepare to behold a rare and magical incarnation of transcendent beauty.
