Darryl says: A superb West Coast psyche pop influenced album with splashes of folkieness and kosmische jamming, the latter particularly evident on the monster 7 minute plus groove laden track "Out Of The Eye". Almost every track on "Sun And Shade" has that warm and familiar 'is this a cover' feel about it, a sure sign of a quality album in my book! The ever reliable and fairly prolific Woods having been knocking out lo-fi gems over the past few years, but this is their crowning glory so far.

ABOUT THIS ITEM

'Woods is a two-headed dog asleep on the porch and a butterfly on the windowsill... a Janus, a Gemini and a screen door. The sun won’t fade and the earworms will not leave, but the jams go on too long for the girl in the back who wonders if her friends are at another bar. Still, the ballads always make her cry. Woods is up there relaying the Woods-feel: Folk-rock, fuzz, tambourines, tapes and raw lunch pulled straight from the yard. Pop songs and other things: Sun and Shade.' - Glenn Donaldson.

'Loose, shuffling and tuneful, the abridged Woods experience sounds more like Wowee Zowee than Workingman’s Dead, but it hits just the right contradictory note of tight arrangements and breathing-room playing to get that back-porch, weird America vibe.' - Pitchfork.
