Patterson Hoods first solo record in over a decade was born out of a friendship with producer Chris Funk (The Decemberists). The pair would often perform together for fun and during Hoods solo tours, making far-off plans to make a record together. They eventually went into Jackpot Studios in Portland. Many of the songs were composed on piano marking a bigger departure from his work with Drive-By Truckers than prior solo efforts. Guest appearances from: Waxahatchee, Wednesday and Lydia Loveless. Tracklist: Exploding Trees A Werewolf and a Girl (w/Lydia Loveless) The Forks of Cypress (w/Waxahatchee) Miss Coldiron’s Oldsmobile The Pool House The Van Pelt Parties (w/Wednesday) Last Hope At Safe Distance Airplane Screams Pinocchio
