US folk rock trio WOODS make the trip from Brooklyn, NYC over to Dublin’s Button Factory on September 23rd in support of new album ‘With Light And With Love’, released in mid-April via Woodsist. The band’s sixth long player, the group have developed over the past decade from the stoner folk of early work to include elements of krautrock and sixties psych pop in their sound.
Winning critical praise on both sides of the Atlantic from NME and Pitchfork, the band’s most recent album ‘Bend Beyond’, issued in 2012, was greeted with universal acclaim. Singer-guitarist and founder Jeremy Earl runs revered indie label Woodsist, responsible for handling all of the band’s material in addition to some of the most noted independent US artists in recent years including Kurt Vile, Real Estate, Crystal Stilts and Wavves.
Woods’ brand of pop shamanism has undergone several gradual transformations over their past few albums, but on With Light And With Love, the tinkering reveals an expanded sonic palette that includes singing saw, heavier emphasis on percussion, and a saloon piano that sounds like it was rescued from a flooded basement. Distinct from both the stoned volk of their earliest recordings and the Kraut-y dalliances of more recent fare, With Light And With Love showcases a more sophisticated brand of contemporary drug music that owes more to Magical Mystery Tour than motorik.
If you’ve ever thought of Woods as a pop group comprised of weirdos, or a weirdo band that happens to excel at playing pop songs almost in spite of itself, With Light And With Love provides a corrective in the form of songs that show these two elements as natural, inextricable bedfellows. Throughout the album, vocals are frequently emitted through Leslie speakers and guitars perform one-string ragas like Sandy Bull reared on shoegaze and skate videos. With Light And With Love is an album of deeply psychedelic, deeply satisfying songs for a new age of searchers, of Don Juan and Animal Chin alike..
