We had never heard of Chicago band Wrugs when we received their humble request the other day that we download their three-song EP, Braided Gas, and make it available to our readers; but boy are we glad that we gave it a spin! The mysterious cover image of a woman cutting her way through a tangled wood is what drew us in in the first place. Lucky for us, it forms a perfect introduction to the music inside: lush, overgrown, percussive, vaguely tropical, and addicted to the thrill of getting lost in the woods–without any intention of finding its way out.
