Woods come to Comet Club armed with more hummable tunes than it should be legally possible to possess. Frontman and Woodsist Records head Jeremy Earl is the star of this most odd band.
It really is a joy to hear and this show should deliver on the entertainment front, a ramshackle celebration of spring and sunshine and the power of a good tune or twenty of the best folk rock to be found, makes you wanna take off your shoes and yell to the rest of the kids “hey let’s go for a swim in the river”…almost.
Of last year’s At Echo Lake album has been written:
Here he is singing at the peak of his powers, in a high soulful style that is bolstered by heavenly arrangements of backing vocals. At Echo Lake feels like the transmission point for teenage garage from the past to the future. Deformed by contemporary experiments, bolstered by magical traditions from the past, it’s the sound of now, right here, At Echo Lake.
Here’s To Clean, from their Songs of Shame record(2009).
