Woods- At Echo Lake ALBUM REVIEW

Review of Songs of Shame: http://bit.ly/cOgDF7

Brooklyn's Woods specialize in creepy, haunting folk rock, fronted with some distinct falsetto vocals. It's like a dead creepy guy singing in my ear. Y'all may remember I loved their last album, Songs of Shame, and At Echo Lake is a worth follow-up, for sure. There's more variation and a slightly more upbeat attitude. I just wish this band would bite the bullet and come out with something a little more fleshed out, but the style here is still unique enough to keep me interested, really interested.

8/10

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.

Sounds like a solid release. Would be a good song(s) to sit back and listen next to a summer fire.

[theneedledrop]

@andy92811 Hellz yeah!
