When the band Woods started out, it was just two guys making largely improvisational music, with a rotating cast of guest musicians who referred to themselves as "woodists." Jeremy Earl and Christian DeRoeck say they've since figured out how to craft a melody and wield a tambourine, but their music still has a beautiful clumsiness to it, as though the group's members are playing with joyful abandon, without worrying about it all falling apart. It's a refreshing, innocent sound you can really hear on this track, from the band's fourth and latest CD, Songs of Shame. This one is called "To Clean."
