Woods
Today Woods shares the B-side of the recently released
7" single for "Cali In a Cup," you can listen to "Give
Your Light Off" here. The band has also added even more dates to
their Fall tour. SPIN is still streaming Woods' new LP, Bend Beyond in
full, listen here. Two weeks ago, the band premiered the first
video from the album , the Adarsha Benjamin-directed "Cali
In a Cup," filmed on Super 8 at and around this year's Woodsist Festival
in Big Sur, CA. The band launches a national tour in Atlanta on Sept. 26
where they will team up at various points with White Fence, Widowspeak,
Purling Hiss and The Walkmen.
More about Bend Beyond: "For their seventh album, Bend Beyond, Woods got dark. It's not that they weren't dark before-when you really get in there and listen, Jeremy Earl is singing about some heavy stuff, but it's hidden under his gorgeous falsetto and sometimes obtuse lyrics. On Bend Beyond, though, Earl and company fully embrace that darkness. Album opener "Bend Beyond," has long been a jammy live staple, but here it's compact and tight with a stuttered guitar line and a world-ending collision of instruments. Meanwhile "Is It Honest" jangles along happily until you notice Earl is in a more destructive zone than the bright music initially suggests, singing It's so fucking hard to see as both a form of comfort and an act of despair. Instrumentally, Bend Beyond is certainly the most full Woods record yet, guitars weave and bubble across peppy drumming, but lyrically Earl is at his most direct and spare. While previous albums sounded like they went directly from Earl's brain to tape with minimal outside interference, Bend Beyondis lush and full-bodied, the work of a band in perfect, heavy harmony. Listening to the record as a whole, it feels like the most daring leap Woods has made yet: It captures the band's live intensity, but keeps the intimate sadness that made them so great in the first place." - Sam Hockley-Smith
