Few modern indie bands have a dual streak of consistency and productivity quite like Woods. The Brooklyn act has only been kicking around since 2005, yet City Sun Eater in the River of Light is already their tenth album. City Sun finds Woods’ sound blossoming out from their familiar blissed-out folk in a more rhythmic, groove-based direction. Opener “Sun City Creeps” begins with some warm horns before a spidery guitar sets up the groove. Like much of the album, the six-minute track isn’t in a hurry to unfold, but chugs along with tambourines and a simple, effective bassline. Frontman Jeremy Earl’s falsetto quivers as he delivers populist lyrics like, “We fall into love every day and take as we go.” The horns return on “The Take,” adding some bright, new color to the otherwise smoky, meditative cut. Whereas, on past Woods albums, a song’s squelching guitar workout might spin on and on, here, it’s reined in, tucked back into the rhythm after a minute. The breezy, strumming Woods of yore still exists here (“Morning Light,” “Hang It on Your Wall”), but the album’s tighter tracks make for the band’s best batch of catchy, psych-rock nuggets since 2011’s neo-classic Sun and Shade. City Sun will eat you up if you let it.
