Like the best short stories, Wood \u0026amp; Waste\u003cbr\u003etransforms skeletal structures into something fleshy and feverish, melding together outlandish influences with both\u003cbr\u003eimprovisation and minimalist, dream-logic songwriting.\u003cbr\u003eThe album’s centrepiece is “She Got Me Boiling”, a juggernaut of psychedelic calypso grafted to mindless riffs on cannibalism\u003cbr\u003ethat would make the Mighty Sparrow blush. Driven by Rodwell’s trademark bass-heavy guitar and animated carnival drums\u003cbr\u003efrom NZ free improv notorieties Chris O’Connor and Jeff Henderson, it’s a fiendishly irresistible piece of music, as is the\u003cbr\u003eabsurdist one-chord bottleneck slide freak-out “Touch Me Like a Teddybear” - a lascivious black hole of meaninglessness and\u003cbr\u003esatire. Elsewhere “Keep on Knockin’” subverts a grim Bo Diddley beat with dissonant Mellotron in praise of Edward\u003cbr\u003eHopper and William Morris, while “Plenty Time” is a species of prog rhumba set in Roman Britain, indebted to Nigerian\u003cbr\u003egiant King Sunny Ade.\u003cbr\u003eTracked on tape at Roundhead Studios, via The Who’s old Neve console, Wood \u0026amp; Waste is an entirely analog production\u003cbr\u003ewith no digital conversion at any stage. Mastering and lacquer cut directly from 1\/2” mixdown tapes by the legendary Kevin\u003cbr\u003eGray in LA. This first run of 180gram LP’s is by audiophile press Pallas in Germany.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist site:\u003cbr\u003ewww.tomrodwell.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Volcanic Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53197473153324,"sku":null,"price":58.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/3947\/9852\/files\/Screenshot2026-05-11at2.31.21PM.png?v=1778466902","url":"https:\/\/volcanicvinyl.co.nz\/products\/tom-rodwell-wood-and-waste","provider":"Volcanic Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
