WOOM is comprised of Alice Barlow, Gray Rimmer, Lara Laeverenz, and Isobel Risk. A low hum, a harmony and ripple, a mirror of reverberating melismatic vocals carrying listeners to the heart of a sound. The South London four-piece choir, have just released their latest single βCirceβ to critical acclaim from the likes of The Guardian, Crack Magazine and The Line of Best fit and 6 Music and Radio 3 amongst others. This spellbinding introduction to their forthcoming project follows the acclaimed 2021 debut EP βInto The Restβ , which saw them reimagine a diverse selection of tracks from luminary artists into bewitching new forms.
The notoriety of WOOMβs performances have already garnered an impressive live legacy, with the band recently joining Clarissa Connelly on stage at the ICA alongside Caroline Polachek, and supporting King Krule, The Big Moon and Grouper. The band have also performed at many prestigious festivals, including Glastonbury, Mirrors and Boiler Room Festival, including two consecutive sold-out headline shows at the Southbank Centre.
βWOOM weave music of spare plaintive beauty, from the most minimal of elements: four voices, and one (tastefully deployed) guitarβ β Loud & Quiet
βThere are shades of Cat Power at her most downbeat here, but itβs all about the harmonies with this indie-folk quartet: dreamy but with an edge of threat.β β The Guardian
βThe quartetβs take on this trio from βBlondeβ has a haunting quality thatβs glacial and pretty, but with an intriguingly icy edge.β β DIY
βChoral four-piece Woom have caught the attention with a steady drip of covers, and this first single proper gives a full flavour of their fantastical, folky sound.ββ Music Week
