Woven Bones

Austin’s Woven Bones are the next great psych-rock hope, but their sound isn’t entirely unfamiliar: There’s a shadow of The Black Angels’ reverb-born menace in frontman Andrew Burr’s snot-nosed vocals, while the relationship between his jackhammer guitar and bassist Matty Nichols’ simplified four-string lines is pure Jesus And Mary Chain, minus the Psychocandy feedback. The group even has its own permanent Moe Tucker now, what with drummer Carolyn Cunningham taking her steady hands to the snare-and-tom set. Having made its name with a string of EPs and 7-inches with increasingly spooky covers, the band’s full-length debut of throbbing grime, In And Out And Back Again. The band signed to Hardly Art this summer, and is working on a follow-up full length due out in 2011.
