Songs Of Shame

Comes with free Woodsist CD Sampler. We love Woods here at Rough Trade. The fourth full-length by woods, 'Songs of Shame', veers away from the lo-figuerillas-in-the-mist sound of their previous shrimper long-player, 'at rear house', and presents both 90-second and ten-minute forays into skeletal psychedelia. the idiosyncratic songwriting style and vocalizing of jeremy earlis still present in spades on the album. 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).
