| Psychedelic Sickness: Woods & Dungen Team Up for “Turn Around” | February 6, 2018 |
Joel Biswas takes a look at "Turn Around," the first single from Woods and Dungen's Marfa Myths LP.
| Once a Vision, From Woods – “Tambourine Light” | June 6, 2014 |
Will Schube owns 4% of Pied Piper If at this point, after so many good full-lengths, and equally inspiring non-album singles (a label many bands use to release not-up-to-par work into the world) you don’t listen to Woods, you probably never will. But for fans of the New York neo-psychsters, “Tambourine Light”—their latest non-album single […]
| Woods – With Light and With Love | April 18, 2014 |
Willie Schube chooses light over dark The consistent excellence of Woods is by nature, both surprising and not. Why wouldn’t a band that turns out great record after great record be capable of doing exactly that again? While law of averages would suggest otherwise, such a law would also suggest that a band capable of […]
| Woods & Glass Leaves | January 13, 2014 |
Willie Schube wrote this via the magic of photosynthesis. It’s hard for a band to get stronger and stronger yet increasingly underrated at the same time. Woods, the Brooklyn-based (freak/psychedelic/any ol’ adjective) folk band released four great records in four consecutive years before taking 2013 off (although they released a single or two)—probably to contemplate […]
| Woods – “Be All Easy” | July 9, 2013 |
Woods dropping tree-smoking soundtracks that Wes Anderson never even knew he needed. For the 17.4 readers who mess with mellow but still mildly psychedelic rock, you will enjoy the latest single from Woods that breathes easily today. For me, these guys create an atmosphere somewhere between The Kinks and The Dead and write catchy melodies. […]
| Video: Woods – “Size Meets the Sound” | January 15, 2013 |
Woods: Still great. We forgot to include them on our Top 50 List of 2012 because we were on drugs. And by we, I mean the royal we.
| Going Back to Cali: The Rustic Jams of Woods | July 2, 2012 |
The Douglas Martin sabbatical sadly endures, but the bands that his column has championed stay scheming. You might remember Woods from such albums as Echo Lake and Sun & Shade, or front man Jeremy Earl’s work in turning Woodsist into the Loud Records of the late 00s underground psych scene. Sorta. In this scenario, the […]
Maybe you’re a complete different from me. Perhaps you didn’t think that 2011 was an unspeakably good for music. Maybe you didn’t pull all-nighters narrowing down your favorite music of the year to a manageable– not concise, but manageable– length. Perhaps you didn’t have to tweak your lists dozens of times to make sure it […]
Douglas Martin is still waiting for Women and Wolf Parade to return, but Woods’ are helping palliate his sorrows. Nobody would have faulted Woods for taking a break. The Brooklyn band– whose Jeremy Earl runs frighteningly consistent indie label Woodsist, whose Jarvis Taveniere runs Rear House Studios, whose Kevin Norby plays in a number of […]
Douglas Martin can see the woods for the trees. Jeremy Earl is a busy man. As the mastermind behind Woodsist, he’s quietly pushed the tiny, DIY, Brooklyn-based label to the forefront of the indie-rock landscape, spearheading the new wave of lo-fi bands flooding the marketplace and incubating for some of underground rock’s big-name groups (Vivian […]
