The Wood Brothers have learned to trust their hearts. For the better part of two decades, they've cemented their reputation as freethinking songwriters, road warriors, and community builders, creating a catalog of diverse music and a loyal audience who've grown alongside them through the years. That evolution continues with Heart is the Hero, the band's eighth studio album.
Release Day Picks this week highlight new albums by Metallica, Fruit Bats, Feist, The Wood Brothers, The Tallest Man on Earth, Neil Young, Temples, Black Thought & El Michels Affair, Dirty Heads, Dinner Party, Angel Olsen, BT ALC Big Band, and Waiting On Mongo.
The Wood Brothers have released their eighth studio album, Heart Is The Hero, available today via Honey Jar/Thirty Tigers. Recorded analog to 16-track tape direct from the studio floor with nary a computer in sight, brothers Oliver and Chris Wood and longtime bandmate Jano Rix stripped back their sound to its elemental core, focusing on the impact of the performances over studio perfection.
