The Woodlands are a wife and husband duo from Portland, OR that craft intimate indie folk-pop songs of lyrical poetry, lush melody, and intelligent simplicity. Hannah & Samuel churn beauty spun of melancholy and mirth, conjuring faraway lands and the longing of lovers. It is the allure of song and sound, wrapped in the hauntingly sweet hush of wonder…

The grey of dripping dusk sounds forth an invitation to innocence. It extends its grey hand with a slight tremble and a quiet recognition of the disparity between its own chill and the warmth of the impending guest. Innocence reciprocates like a slow glance around the doorway that leads to a dim room, holding promises not only of marvelous wonder, but also of looming danger. And the allure of wonder prevails.
The songs of The Woodlands reflect this ebb and flow. The music is like the light of innocence that does not seek isolation or hibernation. It dances with gloom, not upon it. It does not intrude, it intervenes. And this light allures because it too has been haunted, yet shines more fiercely because of the haunting.
Hannah sings of longings and musings and daydreams that delicately embrace the blurred borders between heartbeat and heartache. Hers is a voice of swift beauty that hovers between stark and glow as it glides along her guitar. Samuel (Of The Isles) contributes lyrically and instrumentally to the songs that tell stories and beckon towards familiar mystery.

The Woodlands are magic. (Is magic a musical genre?) I fell hard for the band the first time I heard Summerland. I imagine I will continue to love the album well into the future.
