Devendra Banhart, a very well-known freak folk artist to the current day has not been the only one to stand forward in this day to be amazing in this time of our lives. Woods formed in 2005, they have made 5 albums so far. 'Songs of Shame' was made in 2009 with their lo fi freak folk sound, they explore and experiment and drift off in weird directions. The vocals especially intrigue me because they aren't clear. Its really dispersed, crackly, echoic and was more than likely home recorded. Never the less, it works very well with the band and this album. Some vocal parts make you wonder whether Neil Young features on this album.
They have a new album that came out last year 'At Echo Lake' and I haven't heard it yet.. look forward to when I do listen to it though.
Top Album, this one!
