Are you a Woodsist? If you are not, you should be. For almost twenty years, Jeremy Early and Jarvis Taveniere have been making their own brand of psychedelic folk-rock that never ceases to surprise or put you into a state of relaxation. On their twelfth studio album, Perennial, nothing in this regard has changed, although their approach to songwriting has. The band has said that this album grew from a bed of guitar/keyboard/drum loops by Earl which was a form of winter night meditation. It eventually evolved into an unexplored mode of collaborative songwriting with the others in the band. With tape rolling, they began to build, jamming over the loops, switching instruments, and developing a few dozen building blocks that became their album. This new approach brings a freshness, looseness, and groove to their music that is hard to resist. Am I a Woodsist? I am indeed.
