"Wooden Wire-Voiceless songs by ill-Starred Captain" marks a big departure from their trademark "Folk/Punk/Surfadelic" sounds. The E.P. is the bands first fully instrumental release and represents a new openness and diversity in their music.  Recorded on classic analogue gear, straight to tape at Bigsound Studio in Adelaide amidst shows at the Festival Fringe, the band wanted to capture, in music, something of the spirit of their constant touring through the wilds of Australia, out on the fringes of the Australian music industry.
