Woodwose - Woodwose

Facts Rooted in the Philadelphia experimental music and acid-folk revival scene of the early 2000's, Woodwose neither fits comfortably into said scene nor any musical movement current or past. While their sound can be described as primitive, in the sense of the primordial, not in terms of playmanship, their folk-horror aesthetic abuts a pop sensibility that undermines pure thrift in either genre. What results is a wholly unique sound that permeates one's physiognomy like poison from a deliciously enchanted apple.Keyboardist/flautist/vocalist Jessica Weeks (Magus, The Valerie Project) and guitarist/vocalist Gillian Chadwick (Ex Reverie, Rusalnaia) together draw from a storied musical past to infuse a new creation whose iteration defies ease of labeling. Dueting vocals clamber and soar, guitars stab and arpeggiate, keys rumble and swoon as the rough beast that is Woodwose's debut long-player stands upright, ready to be born into the world.
