Woodpecker Wooliams
Sparrow Robot Elephant Records

Article written by Ged M - Aug 21, 2012

Weirdly referencing Dolly Parton and Chairman Mao with this song, and with an avian fascination (her website is quite brilliantly called “Titting Around”), Woodpecker Wooliams, aka Gemma Williams, escapes easy categorisation but shouldn’t be overlooked. Like a double helix, her rebellious pop music has one strand of Devendra Banhart-ish wyrd folk winding around another of droney electronica, plus odd chimes, groans and beeps while her unearthly tremelo voice and a wonderfully ragged melody not only hold it together but make it supremely memorable. A great talent seems to be hatching so tweet your friends about ‘Sparrow’.
