Last year, Woods released Songs of Shame, a solid collection of rustic folk with occasional forays into meaning psych rock. It was an enjoyable and often creepy collection of lo-fi acoustic ditties, although the stand out song was actually a cover (Graham Nash’s “Military Madness”).
“I Was Gone” is the first taste of new material since then, and its ramshackle acoustic riffs and ghostly vocal harmonies aren’t much of a departure from the band’s previous work. Think of it as “Paint it Black” as performed by a group of nomadic forest dwellers.
It appears on the upcoming album At Echo Lake, which I wrote about over at Exclaim!.
