Over the course of their six year collaboration, Sara Magenheimer and Eben Portnoy have continually experimented with eclectic folk, electronic and indie rock mixes. On Muu’s Way, their debut album under the name WOOM (formerly Fertile Cresent), the duo take lo-fi sounds (be it instrumental, animal, or vocal) and sample them for constantly surprising and catchy results. Whether it is the beat-driven sing-along “Backwards Beach” or the chill instrumental “Under Muu”, the male-sung folk of “Sister” or the austere female vocals layered with soft bass and computerized cricket chirps of “Foggy Dew”, Muu’s Way spins out quirky and charming tracks that defy repetition. This is an indie-pop gem that deserves an inquisitive listen. – Written by JFelton
