WOODGROVE EPK
Biography
"Singing songs about ghosts and dead gods with a little too much falsetto and nowhere near enough fuzz."
Focusing on a blend of ambience and movement; on polarizing songwriting and introspection, the sometimes solo, sometimes four-piece welcomes the ever-present chaos by trying their best to play music as a coping mechanism.
Debut EP 'squintyoureyesandseegod' released on April 21, 2018
PRESS
““Woodgrove’s sound can be described as weary and haunted, with clattering, distorted guitars, loping drums, and ghostly rattling soundscapes filling the frequent empty spaces. The lyrics depict ghosts, gods, destruction, and loss.”
”
““It sounds very natural and the entire album contorts itself in all sorts of ways but it was never jarring. One song often carries a characteristic of another and the common threads are formed. The guitar riffs are all amazing, so distinctive and alluring. There’s also Jared Hall’s vocals which turn brooding into an art form.” ”
