We’ve repeatedly voiced our appreciation for East Coast band Woods and their well-wrought and rendered psych-pop.  Their new album, With Light and With Love, continues their qualitative revolution and is a joy to the ears, and made more interesting with its searching lyrical bent from songwriter Jeremy Earl.   But where Woods really shines is live.  Check out the vignettes below from their recent session on KEXP.  With 60s and early-70s sounds clearly ringing in their ears, Woods delivers an outstanding set on KEXP.  In addition to Earl’s great songwriting and vocals, guitarist Jarvis Taveniere really stands out here.

The first song below, Leaves Like Glass, is sweet and soulful, followed by Green’s the Color featuring Taveniere on a Teardrop 12-string electric.  That’s beauty right there.  Next up is Shepherd, with Taveniere once again regaling with sweet and deft slide guitar notes.  And finally, for those that like an extended jam, check out the new album’s title track, With Light and With Love, at bottom.  The finale has it all, but especially superb ensemble interplay.

Woods is out on tour now and playing Outside Lands tomorrow.  Their tour dates and tickets can be had HERE.
