Brooklyn lo-fi folksters Woods’ “Size Meets the Sound” serves as the second listen off their second release of 2012 and seventh overall full-length, Bend Beyond. With its falsetto harmonies, garage-rock guitar solos, and punctuating drum crashes, its a beast stuck between aesthetics that roars magnificently from note one.

Bend Beyond hits stores September 18th via frontman Jeremy Earl’s Woodsist Records. In case you missed it, be sure to stream the slightly sunnier lead track, “Cali in a Cup”.
