New York's Woods, fronted by Jeremy Earl, perfected a form of
lo-fi noise-folk that wed New Zealand's lo-fi pop of the 1980s
with a more rustic Neil Young-ian feeling on Songs Of Shame (Woodsist, 2009).
The naive singalong To Clean,
the breezy Rain On,
and the
poppy The Number (sung in a eerie falsetto and accompanied only by guitars and tambourines)
are humble contributions to the song format, but the group also unleashed the
ten-minute instrumental jam September With Pete, worthy of the acid-rock
bands that emphasized the "rock" part like
Quicksilver.
A stronger psychedelic mood surfaces in what is basically a corollary to it,
Echo Lake, and in the
rhythmic progression of Gypsy Hand, that leads to a chaotic orgy.
The one-minute closer is appropriately a surreal choral Haiwaian-style
chant, Where And What Are You.
The album also includes the cover of Graham Nash's obscure single Military Madness.
Kevin Morby of the Woods and Cassie Ramone of the Vivian Girls formed The Babies (Shrimper, 2011).
