This Week in Posivibes: Woods

Woods’s ninth album City Sun Eater in the River of Light is exactly what we need in a time where anti-anxiety medication is required to make it as a spectator of political debate: a testament to taking beauty and good times where you can find them.

Raven Sings the Blues calls the album “an absolute high point in their career, a fully realized vision of their cleaned up sound spiked with new obsessions and directions among the sunshine psych.” Buy the LP here via the band’s label, Woodsist, and watch the video for the song “Politics of Free” after the jump.
