East Coast/Big Sur jangle-rockers Woods have in recent years provided some of the most ebullient and brilliant ear-candy to grace the Lefort Jukebox.  Our infatuation with the band and its chiming, Beach Boys-limning sounds began in 2011 with their stirring live set at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival.  It wasn’t long thereafter that their stupendous 2012 song Cali In A Cup (a place we’re particularly partial to) caught our ears.  Most recently, we’ve been enamored with their latest album, With Light And With Love, and the summery songs thereon (but especially Tambourine Light).  Now comes yet another great track (New Light) off the album and the newly-released official video for the song, which you can check out below.  The delightful animated video is based on some of bandleader Jeremy Earl’s drawings. With Light And With Love is out now via Woodsist.

Woods is also out on an international tour this summer.  You can check out the tour dates at bottom and buy tickets HERE.
