Really? Where? There is absolutely nothing about WOD that would make me think Sonic Youth. There's an occasional hazy, woozy, shoegaze tint to the guitar that you could extremely lazily compare to Loveless era MBV but not Sonic Youth.
Very good album by the way, though I prefer them when they...
Slave Ambient was their second. Their first is their best IMHO - Wagonwheel Blues. It featured none other than Kurt Vile (who was one of the founders of the band.)
