“Woods have always been experts at distilling life epiphanies into compact chunks of psychedelic folk that exists just outside of any sort of tangible time or place. Maybe those epiphanies were buried under cassette manipulation or drum-and-drone freakouts, or maybe they were cloaked in Jeremy Earl’s lilting falsetto, but over the course of an impressive eight albums, Woods refined and drilled down their sound into City Sun Eater in the River of Light, their ninth LP and second recorded in a proper studio. It’s a dense record of rippling guitar, lush horns, and seductive, bustling anxiety about the state of the world. It’s still the Woods you recognize, only now they’re dabbling in zonked out Ethiopian jazz, pulling influence from the low key simmer of Brown Rice, and tapping into the weird dichotomy of making a home in a claustrophobic city that feels full of possibility even as it closes in on you. City Sun Eater in the River of Light is concise, powerful, anxious—barreling headlong into an uncertain, constantly shifting new world.”
Sam Hockley-Smithfrom Woods Officilal Site
So was that I have filled out with their discography , which stands out as the one of most compelling between my discs.
Woods is a Warwick, NY-based indie folk band, that sound like a kind of mix of The Beatles, The Band and 70s Neil Young in their free time doing collages of recorded music at an abandoned and moldy cabin beside a society distant road .
Jeremy Earl is the voice tender and vulnerable, and the human face behind this experimental backdrop.
Their music has this strange balance between elegant and ramshackle; can seem too simple in some moments, too artsy in others, and the production is lo-fi since begining all the way, but captivates , and if it hits you, the reward be well worth, the entire experience is one of jubilance..
