Well we made it through the year, through another apocalypse, through another mud-slinging election and we are safely landing in the warm bosom of 2013, emerging anew. I'm not going to pretend I listened to everyone's favorite album this year, but after some reflection, 2012 was a pretty-fucking-good year. There was hardly a game-changer in the bunch with perhaps the exception of one rap wunderkind from Compton, but that doesn't make it my favorite record of the year. My list is dominated by guitar, call me old-fashioned, call me predictable (I might be)-I still find that the ancient [...]
Tweet Woodsist / Remote Control Records Woods Facebook Buy here Brooklyn quartet Woods have given us seven releases in seven years, a range of folk-driven often-melancholic ponderings of our place in this twenty first century world. Known for their lo-fi sound, this seventh LP sees the band take a leap [...]
This past weekend was a hurricane. Between beating deadlines and buying non-perishables for the (zombie) apocalypse, not much live music happened. This must change this weekend, so get your Halloween costume off and run wild in the streets of DC to make 1, 2 or 3 shows a night-it’ll be good for you. Friday, 11/2: 9:30 Club Presents The Caribbean with More Humans and Harness Flux at U Street Music Hall . Get there early-doors at 6pm. DC is wealthy in the good music spread, but [...]
Country oder Pop, Folk oder Psychedelic - die Band Woods aus Warwick (New York) in ein Musikgenre einordnen zu wollen ist kein Leichtes, denn die Band kommt mit Instrumenten daher, die man normalerweise aus der Countrymusik kennt. Nun beschwrt das neue Woods-Album "Bend Beyond" abermals Lagerfeuerromantik. Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel und Tim Hardin lassen gren. Die Protagonisten von Woods hten dabei die 60er, als sei er ihr Patenonkel - und schwren gleichzeitig auf lndliche Nostalgie: Die Band intoniert tagtrumerisch, Gitarren quietschen, Mundharmonika ganz charmant, irgendwo wiehert ein Pferd. Da ist Folk noch Folk im eigentlichen [...]
In the wake of the CMJ overload, we caught up on our correspondences, stomached a third round of polemic clap trap from our dualling plutocrats, while watching the Giants' Zito, Sandoval and company riding into the World Series on fuggin' unicorns. There has been news of Lil Wayne suffering a 'seizure' on his private jet that made an emergency landing in Texas, ex-Girls frontman Chris Owens released the solo track "Here We Go" with the anouncement of a solo album in Jan...

So we typically toss a video onto a post when highlighting a new band or a show preview or something and let you draw your own conclusion about it. Sometimes we throw a change-up... strike that - let’s call it a round up. Most of these videos are of bands we have previously talked about here on Draw Us Lines, so we won’t be telling you much about those bands themselves, just some musings that really aren’t worth a damn. If a picture is worth 1000 words, then a video must be worth a million. Hold on to your hats! [...]
It's that time of year again, time for MPMF - Midpoint Music Festival in Cincinnati, Ohio! This is one of my favorite festivals, taking place all over downtown Cincy from September 27-29.

Enjoy, and hope to see you there. For a full schedule of events - click here for the official MPMF schedule page [...]

This week finally sees the U.S. release of An Awesome Wave , the awesome debut of Alt-J . We've been playing the U.K. band regularly on KEXP for months, but today you can pick up a copy for yourself. Also topping this week's list of new releases - not quite as long as last week's but still pretty dang long - is the anticipated new album by Grizzly Bear . Our Music Director, Don Yates, calls the Brooklyn band’s fourth album "a little more raw and aggressive than previous releases, giving their latest batch of complex, shape-shifting [...]
Woods may hail from Brooklyn but they know how to show the west coast considerable love. We're treated to the Woodsist Festival each year in Big Sur - their label-centric, multi-day showcase - and rarely do new tour dates drop without stops in and around the Bay Area. Hell, the second track off their forthcoming studio effort Bend Beyond is called "Cali in a Cup," and lays claim to album's the first official video. Bend Beyond ( out September 18th, [...]
Un vendredi matin de nostalgie alors que s’envole l’été… Justement, au début de la belle saison, Woods présentait un premier extrait, Cali In A Cup. Et à la veille de lancer l’album Bend Beyond, le 18 septembre, sous le label-maison, Woodsist Records , le groupe de Brooklyn nous envoie le vidéoclip de ladite chanson.… Quelques minutes pour se rappeler les belles journées ensoleillées… Précieux. Ça fait du bien, non! [...]

Neil Young'ish Woods have a new album coming out next week called Bend Beyond which you can stream in its entirety over at SPIN . Woods always have a warm pychedelic catchiness to them. There albums are frequently spotty, but definitely worth the time for a few really good songs. The spottiness is usually covered up by the rawness of their sound. Video "Cali In A Cup"

While they call Brooklyn home, Woods have always conjured up the vibe of the West Coast with their heady brand of acid-drenched, lo-fi psych-rock. In fact, the band has hosted their own music festival , featuring a slew of like-minded acts, amongst the old-growth trees at the Henry Miller Library in Big Sur, California for the last few years. Next Tuesday, Woods will release their latest and arguably their most accessible studio effort, Bend Beyond via their Woodsist label. Late last week, the band dropped the sepia-tinged travelogue video for the record's lead single [...]
