oh how the days will rain on you

i know i've just been reposting things from pitchfork, but there has been so much good stuff recently that it's worth it. plus, that's what blogs are for.

i wish i could embed these, but you can just keep this page open and stream these as many times as you want. they're bootleg acoustic versions of two great woods songs; the album versions are much more psychedelic, but these expose a) how good a singer he is, and b) how strong the songs are when they're stripped of their hazy trappings.

to compare, here's rain on and to clean from the album.

and here's a very sunshiney A-side from a single of theirs called the dark. such a good band!
