Bio:
Woodsman Orphan is a freak-folk and post-psych collaborative
with the uncanny ability to call together the visceral and the psychical muses
into one unearthly choir. Press play and one is instantly stirred up by catchy
pop hooks, psychedelic guitars, and acoustic rambling of disjointed folk mind
dump. The group's distinctive style is
characterized by subtle time signature changes and sonically open
experimentation set to surrealist lyrics. But the discerning listener soon finds that
the pop elements mingle with a mysterious and protean ethic involving strategic
elements of surprise, dissonance and harmonization. In the spirit of influences
like the Beach Boys, 13th Floor Elevators, John Cale, and Neil
Young, Woodsman Orphan is concerned with leaving the listeners in a different
place from where they start.
