Premiere: The Woolly Bushmen harness ’50s rock ‘n’ roll sounds for “Fine”
On May 10, Florida’s The Woolly Bushmen will release their new album, In Shambles, via Pig Baby Records. The band’s sound is a unique blend of old-school rock ‘n’ roll and surf with a fiery garage rock spirit, with an intensity and raggedness in the vein of Reigning Sound or Black Lips. And today, Treble premieres a new track from the album titled “Fine,” which is a little less raucous, and with a lot more vintage ’50s rock, pop and doo-wop sounds thrown in. It’s a fun tune, and they manage to make a very old sound seem new and refreshing. Give it a listen below.
