Woo

Woo is the uncategorizable project of English brothers Clive and Mark Ives. Since the 1970s, the duo have been recording a plethora of eclectic sounds, most falling under the blanket genre of new age, but spiraling out toward notions of ambient sounds, jazz, and other spiritual takes on modern music. They received some acclaim for their early releases, including 1982's Whichever Way You Are Going, You Are Going Wrong and 1989's It's Cosy Inside, but their work began to receive wider appreciation during the 2010s, when labels such as Drag City and Palto Flats reissued the band's albums, in addition to releasing collections of previously unreleased material, like 2014's When the Past Arrives. The brothers remained active all the while, digitally self-issuing material. A 2026 remastered reissue of the group's debut included rare early material.
