Wooden Shjips was the self-titled debut album from the San Francisco psychedelic rock quartet that took many in the rock world by surprise at the end of 2007. Previous to that, only those in their region and in the Northwest had actually gotten the opportunity to hear the band play its brand of droning, repetitive, yet dense and hooky freak-flag rock live, and those fans snapped up all of Wooden Shjips' earlier recorded offerings before the rest of us had even heard of the group.

Wooden Shjips (pronounced "ships") is an American experimental rock band from San Francisco, United States. Their sound has been described as experimental, minimalist, drone rock, and "spacey psychedelic rock". They have been compared to Suicide, Spacemen 3, Loop, The Velvet Underground, The Doors, Soft Machine and Guru Guru. They are signed to Thrill Jockey records.

The entire 34+ minute album is a long way from the more professional main sequence of recordings from the band, and even further from anything resembling Progressive Rock: a point in its favor, to many fans. maybe literally, considering the adverse effects of prolonged exposure.
