good all round album. still seems as though the band is working out their sound, and is why i like them. each song on echo lake was suprising. solid review as well
The Woods track, Blood dries darker, was the first track played on a two week stint here in Australia by Lou Reed and Hal Wilner on our Radio National. My son, 21, said immediately that it was reminiscent of Velvet Underground style! I just liked it. And good for the band being given this type of publicity here.
Honestly.. 7/10. The album is good but it shares too much of the last album's feel, and doesn't have enough highs for me to really dig. Lots of the same old same old I feel like throughout this album but I gotta spin it a few more times.
This album is awesome! I like it better than songs of shame. I do agree that the songs are short but it keeps me coming back for more. I think at echo lake is one of the top releases this year
Anthony Fantano.. I appreciate you, and that makes me happy. Your show is about the only thing I watch. Just dropping a note to say thanx for being such a bang up dude!
Hopefully when you are old and grey you will be able to find another nice bespectacled young man to hand the needledrop's reigns off to. But until then, carry on with grace.
i've never heard of most of the bands that are reviewed...but i like mostly them! what makes music creepy? creepy is a very subjective word. i think creepy lyrics make a song creepy. also one part in iron maiden's "rhyme of the ancient mariner" gives me goosebumps it's so creepy. you'll know what i'm talking about when you hear it. i remember playing stravinsky's "berceuse and finale" in orchestra,and some parts of that can go right into a horror movie! i think in general quiet and minor=creepy.
Hey Anthony! I'd love for you to review Thee Oh Sees latest album 'Warm Slime'. Their sound is most often described as being a sort of greasy, freaky, psychedelic, garage rock sound. The band is spearheaded by John Dwyer, formerly of Coachwhips and Pink and Brown. I look forward to all of the band's releases and I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. Either way, thanks for all the reviews and keep up the great work!
@devo83 I've actually got that album. I've been giving it some listens and need to talk about it. I'm digging it more than Dog Poison and the album that was out before that. But I'm not thinking it's better than Master Bedroom.
Yeah, no thanks, those linked songs werent awesome. Ill look up some of the other tracks. I liked Pick Up 8/10. But thanks for the heads up on the band. Ill check out some older albums of theirs to see if i like them. keep it up, forever.

I love Woods' new album. It reminds me of an old record from the sixties that's never been discovered. I like the way the songs are shorter, it gives the album a more mysterious feel. Thanks for the review Anthony!
I like Woods' music, especially their new album. It sounds like something you would hear back in the sixties from Tangerine Dream or maybe Moody Blues. I actually like the way the songs are shortened-it gives the album a more mysterious feel. Thanks for the review Anthony!

I got this album out of random.
I saw the praise for Songs of Shame (which I still haven't heard) and got this.
To put it bluntly, I'm loving it. It's a contender for AOTY for me, and I'm not even a big folk fan.
