Comment: Woods
is the Brooklyn, New York, US-based trio of Jeremy Earl, Jarvis Taveniere, and
Aaron Neveu. The trio`s half-hour gig at Bowery Ballroom was performed after
four years and four issues from the starting point. The gig was followed by
the issue of the album Songs of Shame
only some months earlier on Jeremy Earl-led imprint Woodsist being shelter for
many well-known experimentally oriented indie rock groups from recent generation
(Vivian Girls, Crystal Stilts, Sic Alps, Pocahaunted, Wavves, Kurt Vile etc).
The performance is an eminent proof as the slightly decent tradition oriented rock
embodiment will grow remarkably due to extension through some intense key
changes, guitar overdrives, sonic effects-delays and organ vamps. Although the
combo is considered a part of the New Weird America movement these 32
minutes, however, set about to add some shimmery seeds to the rock and roll music tradition by
playing music with immense energy and impetus originating mostly from the blues
music legacy. In a word, grab it for yourself, your brother and sister and
your cat and dog.
