Woodsman will release their self-titled third album on February 4 via their new home Fire Talk. The band make bold steps into mid fidelity on this one and it suits them well. It’s rhythm-heavy in a Can/Neu! kind of way, still with their dark, droning textures swirling around. You can get a good idea of what Woodsman are doing here with the back-to-back album tracks “Healthy Life” and “Rune,” both of which you can stream below.

The band launch a two-week tour tonight (1/24) in NYC at Mercury Lounge with Alan Watts and Herbcraft, the latter of whom will be with them for a few dates. It’s a late show — doors at 10 PM — and tickets are available. The tour then wraps up on February 8 at Death by Audio which is their record release show. Shorts and White Bike are also playing. All dates are listed below.
