A scene (of sorts) defining compilation of major proportions, Woodsist has consistently released great record after great record, 2010 in particular had vintage stamped all over it because of the new Woods album, the Moon Duo album, and now this comp snapshots a label in its ascendancy: exclusive tracks from Fresh and Onlys, Woods, Run dmt, Moon Duo, Skygreen Leopards, Nodzzz, Ducktails, Art Museums, City Center, the Mantles, Alex Bleeker, and Cause Co-motion. Its true the sons and daughters of Homestead, Xpressway and first-wave Drag City (et al.) are now making goodmusic. The 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s are all there, bound together by shitty tape machines, reverb and easy chord changes, but melody is back and so is the joy of jamming a perfectly mangled pop song. Welcome Home might hit some new kids the way human music or Nuggets did back in their day. In any case, its one of those rare compilations you can play straight through and over again.
