Woods (band)


Woods is an American folk rock band from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 2005. The band consists of Jeremy Earl, Jarvis Taveniere, Aaron Neveu, Chuck Van Dyck, and Kyle Forester. The band's former bassist, Kevin Morby, left the band in 2013.
Woods have released 11 albums, the latest being Strange to Explain. Pitchfork Media reviewed one of their previous albums, Songs of Shame, giving the band its "Best New Music" designation and describing the sound as "a distinctive blend of spooky campfire folk, lo-fi rock, homemade tape collages, and other noisy interludes, all anchored by deceptively sturdy melodies."
Singer-guitarist and founder Jeremy Earl also runs the rising Brooklyn label Woodsist, for whom the band releases their work.
Prior to their initial output as Woods, founding members Jeremy Earl and Jarvis Taveneire, along with former member Christian DeRoeck, performed together in the band Meneguar, in which Taveneire sang and played guitar, and Earl played drums. Meneguar released three albums, beginning with I Was Born At Night. The group released two subsequent albums, Strangers in Our House and The In Hour prior to shifting their focus full-time to recording and performing as Woods.
