Operating the Woodsist label since 2006 and curating the beloved homespun Woodsist Festival for the musical universe they’ve built, Perennial is the sound of a band on the edge of their 20th anniversary and still finding bold new ways to sound like (and challenge) themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePerennial\u003c\/i\u003e grew from a bed of guitar\/keyboard\/drum loops by Woods head-in-chief Jeremy Earl, a form of winter night meditation that evolved into an unexplored mode of collaborative songwriting. With Earl’s starting points, he and bandmates Jarvis Taveniere and John Andrews convened, first at Earl’s house in New York, then at Panoramic House studio in Stinson Beach, California, site of sessions for 2020’s Strange To Explain. With a view of the sparkling Pacific and tape rolling, they began to build, jamming over the loops, switching instruments, and developing a few dozen building blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album’s resulting 11 songs, 4 of them instrumental, are in the classic Woods mode - shimmering, familiar, fractionally unsettling - but with the half-invisible infinity boxes of Earl’s loops burbling beneath each like a mysterious underground source. From source to seed to bloom, each loop unfolds into something unpredictable, from the jeweled pop of the aching “Little Black Flowers” to the ecstatic starlit freak-beat of “Another Side.” They are blossomings both far-out and comforting, like the Mellotronic cloud-hopping of “Between the Past,” or sometimes just plain comforting, like the widescreen snowglobe fantasia of the instrumental “White Winter Melody,” touched by Connor Gallaher’s pedal steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWoods have long used the studio as a place of songwriting, naming 2007’s \u003ci\u003eAt Rear House\u003c\/i\u003e after their shared dwelling and recording space. But Perennial also carries with it an even longer view of Woods. Emerging from the process alongside the music was Earl’s reflection that “perennial plants and flowers are nature’s loops,” an idea rolling under the album’s lyrics like the loops themselves. It certainly applies to the band, too, who have quietly tended to a long, committed project of being a band in the weird-ass 21st century, both individually and communally.  Though separated by coasts, the communal sprit carries through Earl, Taveniere, and Andrews’ collaboration, a living embodiment of the freedoms rediscovered every time a new collectively created piece of music emerges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor nearly two decades, Woods have survived subgenres, anchored in the fertile soil below hashtags like lo-fi and freak-folk and psychedelic and indie, and built a shared history that’s something to marvel at. As the flagship band for Woodsist, they’ve accumulated a striking extended family of collaborators (and Woods alum) that have made the label one of the most dependable imprints in the kaleidoscopic low-key underground. It’s a glow that’s transferred whole to the blissed-out Woodsist Fests held in Accord, New York in recent years, which have folded in a wide range of diverse sounds, from the the jazz cosmoverse of the Sun Ra Arkestra and adventurous legends Yo La Tengo, to a hard-to-even-count family tree of contemporaries, like Kevin Morby (who served a few tours of duty as Woods bassist) and Kurt Vile (who released his 2009 debut on Woodsist), a living community in sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePerennial \u003c\/i\u003ecarries all of this, shaped by decades, but made in the moment, and here right now.

A film school drop out whose work hat-tips tradition as much as outsider anti-aesthetics.

Today he is still out there projecting his sketchy hand-drawn animations during his performances in coffee shops, small galleries and non-traditional venues. Andrews’ painterly approach now introduces the listener to his version of New York City, the place he was bound to end up after years of dwelling in Pennsylvania farm towns and New Hampshire barns. There is handmade vibrancy to the world he’s imagined here: intimate moments seen from the interior, looking outward from hole-in-the-wall restaurants, theaters and the fragments of peace found within the restless and dirty street corners. \u003ci\u003eLove For The Underdog\u003c\/i\u003e, his aptly titled fourth release with the Woodsist label, was tracked live to tape in various studios and apartments across the Empire State with help from his bandmates in Cut Worms’ touring outfit, Max Clarke, Keven Lareau and Noah Bond.

The namesake of the record is an art piece by Maynard Monrow entitled \"Still Life with the Rejects from the Land of Misfit Toys.\" The album's title has several meanings. On the surface, it refers to Morby's change in lifestyle that came with moving to Los Angeles from New York in August of 2013. But he also admits that the title is ironic. The songs from \u003ci\u003eStill Life\u003c\/i\u003e were written during yet another period of tour and travel for Morby, as he spent almost all of 2013 on the road with Woods (with whom Morby parted ways amicably last year), The Babies (who are currently on hiatus) and as a solo artist. The album reflects both this time in transit and the quiet confines of his new home in Montecito Heights. Scenes of performers, audience expectations and the paradoxical confines of a roving individual perpetually caught in a crowd percolate the songs, notably in \"The Jester, The Tramp and The Acrobat,\" and \"Parade.\" (Morby calls the latter an elegy of sorts for one of his major influences, Lou Reed.) Violent fates, wrestling with destiny and the nature of death creep into songs like \"The Ballad of Arlo Jones,\" \"Bloodsucker\" and \"Amen.\" Even Morby's more obvious love songs like \"All of My Life,\" \"Drowning\" and \"Our Moon\" are highly bittersweet; the characters seem to never quite find each other, but perhaps they find themselves.

Woods have toured incessantly as a trio over the last 12 months, and the 'Songs on Shame' have had their mettle tested. check out the straight-ahead pop of 'to clean' or the 'neil jung' push \/ pull of 'crain on'. elsewhere, an expansive side of the band hinted at on their woods 'family creeps' lp finds full flight on the subtle ten-minute stretch 'september with pete' (that features peter nolan of magik markers guesting).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodsist","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50483422724427,"sku":"311831","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50483423117643,"sku":"311830","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d3e36c63-a748-4da1-b74e-ed80aa3311d7_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727566945"},{"product_id":"cookbook","title":"Cookbook","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Andrews is picking flowers from each corner of his life and presenting you with an unusual bouquet.

Andrews began recording the album in 2013 while working at a Salvation Army in the Amish country of Lancaster, PA, his home at the time. As the new year rolled around, he followed a demanding schedule of writing, recording and touring with both Quilt (drums) and Woods (keys). It wasn't until a well-earned break that he found the time and energy to complete the solo record he started months before. He recounts the difficulties involved: 'Traveling so much caused my whole living scenario in PA to kind of fall apart,' he tells, lamenting over the comfort only home can provide. As he moved back to his hometown of Yardville, NJ, he set up camp in his grandparents' empty living room to record and perform everything entirely by himself once again. \"Warm acoustic guitars, honky-tonk piano, lap steel, singing saw and fluttering violins all sing together on this well crafted, yet comfortingly sloppy, psych-country \/ R\u0026amp;B record. A self-taught piano player, Andrews maneuvers with the precision of a player well beyond his years. Lyrically and stylistically he tackles the subject of death with the lightheartedness of a Saturday morning cartoon in '\"I'll Go to Your Funeral (If You Go to Mine).' It's hard not to conjure comparisons to Michael Hurley, Daniel Johnston or Kevin Ayers. This album is a great introduction to the grandiose fables of characters at the mercy of Andrews's oddball mind.\"—Jeffrey Silverstein \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodsist","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50483591381323,"sku":"385932","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/9c044837-3059-4deb-8dd6-ff930c85cf92_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727569935"},{"product_id":"in-the-air-3","title":"In The Air","description":"\u003cp\u003eCalifornia singer \/ songwriter returns with brighter tones and a more orchestral sound, featuring a large cast of friends and collaborators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Born of a thousand nights lost in a surrender to stillness and contemplation, \u003ci\u003eIn The Air \u003c\/i\u003eis Anna St. Louis’ second full length album and her most considered work yet.   “It’s an outlook on the world that was formed when her immediate one was small. The intervening years since her last album found St. Louis in a small one-bedroom cabin in the middle of the woods of upstate New York with a new love and time to think of what she wanted to express with her music. For weeks on end, the only trips she took were to and from her job as the front desk clerk at a nearby hotel. The previous years she had spent on tour and performing constantly in the venues of Los Angeles felt like they had occurred in another lifetime.   “St. Louis describes the writing period as one of a slow harvest; a fertile time but one that required a newfound patience. Instead of documenting her first thoughts, she spent more time with each song, going deeper with the themes and ideas she wanted to express.   “This slower approach also guided the sonic textures of the album. Working with producer Jarvis Taveniere (Purple Mountains, Woods) in two extended recording sessions in Los Angeles in 2021, St. Louis used the studio in a previously unexplored way, opening up her songs to more experimentation featuring brighter tones and a more orchestral sound to accompany her new perspective. To that end, she was aided by a cast of friends and collaborators including Jess Williamson, Kacey Johansing, Oliver Hill (Kevin Morby, Vagabon) on strings, Alex Fischel (Spoon) on piano, Josh Adams on drums  (Bedouine, Tim Heidecker) and Keven Lareau (Cut Worms, Hand Habits).” — Justin Sullivan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodsist","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50490878918987,"sku":"2020696","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50490878001483,"sku":"2020694","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/In_the_Air_e0302162_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727677953"},{"product_id":"real-estate-1","title":"Real Estate","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eReal Estate Waft In On Vibes Of Hazy Summers Past.
