Woods Interview From Pitchfork Fest 2011: Lucas Crane Jams On Cassette Players By Jamming Them (Vide

Lucas Crane And Jarvis Taveniere are only two-fifths of the touring incarnation of Woods, but their contributions go a long, long way towards shaping the sonic character of this dreamy, spacey, folk-rock band.
For his part, Lucas creates striking ambiance textures - and a striking image - by feeding a pair of Sony cassette decks and his own voice through delay and reverb pedals; essentially, Lucas plays a manual, two-sample Mellotron.
Jarvis's contributions include playing just about every instrument under the sun, as well as engineering Woods' recordings at the cleverly-named Woodsist HQ in upstate New York (Woods singer Jeremy Earl's house). We spoke with both Woodsists after their performance at the recent Pitchfork Music Festival.

The word esoteric has lost all meaning to me.
