Woods - "Morning Light"

Some songs you just can't wait to hear again. They become your go-to's for hanging out, long road trips, or even just a run to the grocery store and back. Any Woods song - or album, to be honest - fits the bill, but "Morning Light" sticks around like a good friend you want to keep talking to or a glass of wine you wish would last longer because you're way too chilled out to get up for a refill. A twangy slide guitar line trades time with a fuzzed out keyboard and vocals that hang on the cusp of making perfect sense, all in between layers of solid musicianship. Don't let the skull on cover scare you. Put this on your summer playlist right now. Then hit repeat.

Maybe those epiphanies were buried under cassette manipulation or drum-and-drone freakouts, or maybe they were cloaked in Jeremy Earl’s lilting falsetto, but over the course of an impressive eight albums, Woods refined and drilled down their sound into City Sun Eater in the River of Light, their ninth LP and second recorded in a proper studio. It’s a dense record of rippling guitar, lush horns, and seductive, bustling anxiety about the state of the world. It’s still the Woods you recognize, only now they’re dabbling in zonked out Ethiopian jazz, pulling influence from the low key simmer of Brown Rice, and tapping into the weird dichotomy of making a home in a claustrophobic city that feels full of possibility even as it closes in on you. City Sun Eater in the River of Light is concise, powerful, anxious—barreling headlong into an uncertain, constantly shifting new world." -Sam Hockley-Smith
