What vinyl are you listening to?
It's still Bend Beyond by Woods for me. A truly great album. West-coast with a scratchy psych-pop twist.
Anything like Olivia Tremor Control Charlie?
I loved OTC, and for me Woods are another band to cherish. For every note of quaintness, there's a balancing drop of acid to keep the thing from becoming too sickly sweet.
There's a touch more dissonance to Bend Beyond. And I love it.
Dusk At Cubist Castle is one of my all time favourite albums, just brilliant.
I've only just found out about the death of Bill Doss, very sad, and left me asking the question, Why? Why? Why not James Blunt or Robbie Williams?
I shall seek out Bend Beyond though.
It's an injustice, is it not.
Cubist Castle is also in my top 50 LPs of all-time. Bend Beyond is coming up on the rails into that putative list. I'm listening to it at all times - in the car, on the kitchen iDock thing, my iPad at work but not surprisngly that much on my hi-fi for some reason.
It's that perverse logic that indicates what a great album it is. Music over hi-fideltiy every time.
Let us know what you think, if and when you get chance to have a listen.
