Editor's review
Experimental indie rock groups can't just start bands--they require weirder reasons for joining up. In Uffmoor's case, the collective apparently began as an "unambitious knitting circle." It only, follows, then, that the group makes mopey, post-fi tracks with Deerhoof's penchant for circumnavigating all things tuneful.
Biography
The band lives and records in a small, haunted shack on the fringes of Uffmoor Woods, in the Clent foothills. They inherited the clubhouse from old Ned, a hermit with a penchant for collecting deer skulls and spinning yarns. Paul and Dave met Mark at knitting classes in the nearby town of Halesowen. Having learnt to drop and pearl together in the murky warmth of the shack they turned to music, expressing with guitars, pianos and drums what they never could with the knitting needle. After a few phone calls what started out as an unambitious knitting circle had become a sprawling indie-rock collective / dictatorship.
