, out September 15th via Woodsist. Woods’ dreamy, pastoral soundscapes continue to mature as they approach 20 years as a band, and “Between the Past” and “White Winter Melody” unfold a feeling of continual growth. “Between the Past” is a hymnal, as Beatles-y wind instruments intermesh with psychedelic guitar and Jeremy Earl’s octaves-surfing vocals.
“White Winter Melody” is an instrumental track that is soothing and full of calm possibility.is, in true Woods fashion, an ode to nature. “Perennial plants and flowers are nature’s loops,” explains Earl, so the tracks have looping qualities themselves. A connective tissue runs through them and extends out to the listener, inviting them into a lush, even-keeled aural wilderness.‘s album artwork and tracklist below.
