WOODEYE :: Do What Must Be Done ~ 8.1

Stone | [No number]

From the au naturel cardboard jacket (mine’s even autographed on the back) to the mossy folk-rock sounds seeping from the grooves of the disc, rustic is the operative word. A couple primitively recorded, oddly-placed covers of early rock & roll tunes (“Rave On” and “Hey Baby”) enhance the off-kilter vibe. As for the original material: where did these songs come from? They sound like Top 20 hits from an alternate 1970s (it’s possible; see Back to the Future Part II). The masterminds of Woodeye - Rick Chapman and John Curci - craft carefree, dreamlike vignettes driven by beautifully rough-edged guitar and tinged with weird sounds swirling around the edges of the mix. Some frenetic hi-hat work and a random nod to Leslie Gore’s “It’s My Party” in the conclusion of the soul homage “Loves Laughter and Cries” throw an otherwise conventional-sounding love song off the track. The Woodeye boys get philosophical on “Natural Law” (“no one’s ever wise enough to keep from growing old”), a slab o’ boogie marked by an odd chorus of sorts that simply asks “how do you know?” over a psychedelic ascent. Opening with a slow snare build, “Jimmy” tells of a storyteller/singer who indulges in nickel beer (mama says “stay away”). Given its title, “Woodsong” may be the band’s unofficial theme. After beginning with a funky synth bass line, it unfolds with a bit of flute and some weird rolling tom fills. The words seem to be a person’s hazy conscience providing self-help about a rocky relationship. Even better, “Drowsy Water” is the shining jewel in the Woodeye crown: Eagles-like backing vocals wash over a fever dream about Satan stealing the souls of road-bound rock musicians. Git-r-done and find this platter.
