WOODS - HOW TO SURVIVE IN/IN THE WOODS REVIEWS

HEARTATTACK #50
Woods is the experimental folk project of Jeremy Earl and Christian DeRoeck of Meneguar, originally released as a double cassette on Jeremy´s label, Fuck It Tapes. Lo-fi, quirky and at times noisy. At more times than not (especially in "Silence Is Golden"), the recording gives the vocals and instruments distortion, but it fits with this well to their approach. The experimental aspect comes into play with tracks like "God Hates The Faithless", which feature the members heavily distorted screaming over a repetetive and drowning guitar jam and rattling noises. This will probably please noise fans and folk fans with open minds. My only complaint would be the lack of lyrics, but the artwork is beautiful (and expensive!). Thirteen songs, 42 minutes. CB.
