About

Woob is the stage name of Paul Frankland, an English composer, musician and filmmaker who started recording in the early 1990s. Woob's albums combine elements of ambient, downtempo and space music, with samples from field recordings. Frankland has also recorded under the names of Journeyman and Max & Harvey. After a period working as a composer and sound designer predominately for Ridley Scott Associates, he started releasing new material as ‘woob' in 2010. After that time, Woob's works have gradually shifted towards a more synthwave-oriented sound and adopted a cyberpunk/futuristic imagery. NewRetroWave Records welcomes Woob to its roster as they begin their summer release campaign. Vooll is an exceptional exploration into uncharted synth territory. Your ears will be taken on a ride of a lifetime. A must listen for all Cyberpunk and Darksynth enthusiasts.

Frankland has stated this as a concept album:
A Korean Ghost Story, Seoul 2021
To help relaunch her career, aging K-Pop star ‘Yu-sa’ travels back in time to 1991 using an experimental time displacement program called “vooll”…where she dies tragically in a freak accident.
After unsuccessfully trying to reverse the incident she creates a time disturbance causing herself to glitch between 1991 and 2991. 30th century Seoul has been infested by a sentient, alien fungus that communicates with the apparition telepathically. The constant stream of information drip feeding into her consciousness begins to slowly unravel her mind. — via Label
