To the untrained ear, The Woods is a lost Jeff Mangum field recording of a peyote-influenced Florida cult sing-along. But the trained ear would clearly hear that The Woods is a lost Jeff Mangum field recording of an acid-induced Florida cult sing-along. If you’re asking “what’s the difference†then you’re paying attention and that’s a good start.
The Woods is the innocent and mischievous lo-fi folk of Ian Dudley. Recorded in bedrooms and basements with over 30 family members and friends lending hands, voices or maracas, The Woods is Ian’s tribute to life, death and everything in-between and beyond. Look for The Woods on May 13, 2008 from Plug Research Records.
