“Bending elements of shoegaze and trip-hop into a Kid A mold, Woven create epic soundscapes that scream for late-night headphone sessions.” – Alternative Press
“remnants of Curve, Peter Gabriel’s soundtrack work, world music rhythms and Massive Attack.” – Rollingstone.com
“This is a bold freakin’ statement for only listening to an album once, so buckle up…[t]he L.A. quintet pick up where Kid A left off. Yeah, I said it.” – Perfect Porridge
“gothy electronics and trip-hop squiggle…sounding like Marilyn Manson moonlighting as a moody software engineer.” – Spin
“verges on heady Kid-A territory without stepping foot in traditional rock waters.” – Meanstreet
“Woven sound like Massive Attack and Squarepusher writing pop songs.” – Lollipop.com
A furious space-rock album of serpentine electronics and heavy atmospherics, Woven’s new album, Designer Codes, marks a new chapter in the band’s existence, as they head out into the new musical landscape an unsigned and independent band. It’s heavy stuff, similar to the Notwist or Deerhunter, and it’s a great achievement for a band that’s shaking off major label involvement. Their latest LP Designer Codes is releasing today!
