Woodsman

Taken directly from their Facebook bio: "Woodsman is an experimental ambient post-psychedelic band based in Denver, CO. The quartet contains two totemic percussionists and two sonic animators who employ electric guitars, feedback loops, and recorded samples to build the dreamy astral soundscapes that define Woodsman’s sound. Influenced by hazy mountain passes, the cinema of Stan Brakhage, and early 1970’s improvisational recordings by Miles Davis Woodsman has crafted aural offerings that are uniquely their own."


Rare Forms has moments of free-form euphoria of reverberated major scale keyboard/guitar textures and fluttering percussion contrasted by more of rock "band" song structures. Definitely recommended:




Their upcoming EP Mystics Places, marking their fifth release, is to be released on October 25th. Pre-order the vinyl from Firetalk and check out "In Circles" off of Mystic Places below.
