Wolf People are a UK-based psychedelic rock band. On their first outing, Tidings is a mixed bag. Each song is drenched in garage-sounding psychedelia but in between songs the "interludes" they insert can be somewhat grating on the nerves as they use loops, tracks played in reverse and random snippets from what sounds like studio banter to fill gaps. It's almost as if the band rushed to put this album out and needed filler. The flow of the album is constantly interrupted. It makes for interesting listening but would get very old very quickly after multiple listens, especially for those just seeking the music. The incorporation of flute on "Cotton Strands" is a nice touch as is the harmonica on "October Fires". What music is there seems to be a good foundation for what is to come. I believe the band will be able to expand upon their sound and truly create an epic record in the future.
