NYC "chill-wave" pioneers Woods released their sophomore album "Sun and Shade" on June 14 and are about to embark on a month long US tour with, alternatively, The Fresh and Onlys, Kurt Vile, Ducktails and White Fence. They are now releasing a 7" single featuring two new songs: "Find the Empty" (embedded below) is characterized by screaming distorted guitars we aren’t accustomed to hear from this band, tamed by their signature mid tempo rhythms and by the layer of relaxed doubled vocals. The B-side, "Be There" is a more jam-friendly number reminiscent of their live shows. The cover of this single features a young Caleb Braaten (Sacred Bones), his father, and a gigantic marijuana plant. How appropriate! To see Woods live in NYC you’ll have to wait until August 13 (Bowery Ballroom).
