For their self-titled, debut release, Tallahassee, Fla. band "Woods" decided to package all the CDs in the pages of old books. With an initial "pressing" of just 40 discs, the group glued together the pages of used thrift-store books, cut a hole for the CDs and stamped the band's name on the cover with a typesetting machine. It's the same kind of inspired care they took with the music itself. The Woods is an enchanting collection of songs rooted in acoustic folk music, with pleasantly unpredictable turns toward more experimental soundscapes.

As a band, The Woods is a sort of collective, fronted by songwriter Ian Dudley. It took him two years to produce the album, using a rotating cast of what he describes as "everyone I knew that could play an instrument or sing." Nearly 30 people eventually helped with the project, recording the music in Dudley's bedroom.
