Press Reviews Jim thinks we're gear. Also, From CityBeat (05/31/01): Wojo Rising: Exist on Cool is the interesting, impressive new album from locals, Wojo. The trio have been playing together for just over a year, but singer/ songwriter Justin Lynch and bassist Aaron Zlatkin have been writing and performing together since the early '90s. The band's dynamic new album shows a wide range of influences, starting off with a rootsy Pop vibe that gives way to a more adventurous, ethereal approach about midway through. Highlights include "Take It Easy (Alright)," which glides like a cross between Elliott Smith and The Beatles, "The Torture Song," which has the sullen demeanor of Sebadoh, and the bluesy, old-timey Folk roller "Three Rings & a Spotlight," which recalls the slanted Pop of Robyn Hitchcock. Cool stuff. For more info on the band, check www.worldwidewojo.com.
