Woods - At Echo Lake


(7.5)

My favorite 'campfire music' is that of Woods. I managed to find this album early, it came out today but i've had a leak for about a month now. After their latest and extremely pleasant Songs Of Shame, they're putting the new one out only a year later, but this album is not rushed in anyway. I'd say it's a little more "up" and positive sounding (Suffering Season). It's still a bunch of nice short songs. It's still really folk in that Neil Young & Crazy Horse or CSNY way. And still great 60's folk sounding guitars. The singer's voice is still falsetto as fuck, but it's great and I don't thing I'd love Woods nearly as much with out his unique voice. Most importantly, it's still the accessible side of Woods, unlike At Rear House which is great in its own right, but this is something that a lot of people will like.

Not as much on the dark side like Songs of Shame and not as catchy but still a really enjoyable album
