Eben Portnoy and Sara Magenheimer started out playing together in the band
Flying before splitting off and starting a more experimental lo-fi project called Fertile Crescent. After self releasing a 7", the duo changed their name to
Woom. Based out of Oakland and Los Angeles by way of Brooklyn, the two spent the autumn of 2009 recording in a barn in Eastern Massachusetts. Ultimately honing in on a D.I.Y., deconstructed sound, the duo toured Europe with the similarly unconventional
Xiu Xiu -- and hopped on shows in the states with
Fiery Furnaces and
Beirut. In 2010,
Woom signed with BaDaBing Records and released their debut full-length
Muu’s Way. ~ Jason Lymangrover
