New Wooman: “Six Days”

I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for music that conjures up memories of the 2011 and 2012 Japanese indie rock community, when Hotel Mexico put their spin on chillwave and the entire CUZ ME PAIN universe offered an unsettling merger between dance and rock. Naturally, the one group left to emerge from that scene has my attention. Wooman’s latest, “Six Days,” plunges ahead, the guitar and drum job wrapped in a thin layer of feedback. As has been the case since they emerged, it’s the vocals — brushed in static — that give the song both a hook and a slightly unnerving edge. Listen above.
