JEREMy BRADLEY EARL - FOUR SONGS [EP] - WOODSIST

James Bradley Earl – the New York-based artist, musician, and founding member of psychedelic folk-rock band Woods – releases his new EP, Four Songs, the first recorded music under his own name and first solo tour outside of Woods.

As a longtime champion and maker of psychedelic American music, Earl knows how to play it wrong in order to get it right. He’s spent twenty years on a space echo trail with his band Woods, and while he’s refined his craft, there’s still a gentle chaos inside. These four solo songs blend folk and rock like his band, but left alone his writing cuts a little deeper, with the hallucinations homespun and the illuminations ghostly.

Friend and collaborator Kevin Morby adds, “Four Songs only builds upon the already admirable DIY empire he’s been building over the past 25 years. Jeremy is an artist in every sense of the word. Be it songwriting or his beautiful work as a visual artist, I see these first songs under his own name as a culmination of the two mediums. Somehow, I feel as if these songs aren’t just songs but sonic paintings done by Jeremy. They each create their own universe bursting with color and I can’t wait for more.

Left to his own devices, these songs feel more personal than ever. As if we’re getting a glimpse into an artist at work, behind closed doors, in real time.”
