Pledge Music Page Launched!
Dearest Sunbeams and Sirens,
We Are The Woods are wicked pleased to announce the official launch of our Pledge Music campaign, Let’s Make a Record!
With this campaign we hope to fund the completion and the release of our new album, Whales And Roses. We’ve been having a blast recording with Jeremy Sklarsky at Threshold Recording Studios in NYC and we can’t wait to debut some of the all star tracks for you on our pledge page. We made a transcendent gem of a film to welcome you to said pledge page and we recommend you view it immediately and twice a day if necessary until you find yourself right with the world in all ways. Tyler Beckwith was our house film editor and director for this project so feel free to aim your lasers of praise and adulation in his direction. In addition to this exciting short film, you will also be able to preorder the new record and place your bid on an awesome range of seriously dope exclusives and woods merchandise. All of these contributions will go towards funding our cause and rescue the planet. “How could that be?!” you ask. Answer: because 10% of all the money we raise will go to 350.org, a pivotal organization that’s building a global movement to solve the climate crisis.
We’re very excited to build this record with you
And to have a big giant party when it’s all said and done
And several medium sized parties along the way.
We Love You!

Jessie, Marcia, and Tyler
What a lovely post about us on the webpage for Threshold Studios NYC . It has been an amazing ride! Big thanks to Jeremy and James.
We Are The Woods create a truly inspiring record with Producer Jeremy Sklarsky at Threshold Recording Studios NYC!
Our studio time with We Are the Woods is coming to a close shortly. It has been an absolute blast having these awesome artists in the studio. The record we are nearing completion is a solid mix of folky acoustic and rocking electric sounds. The music is a whole lot of fun and there were always plenty of healthy snacks and an assortment of teas on hand. Somehow, while geeking out over Harry Potter, the Hunger Games, and other various middle school literary obsessions, we managed to put together a pretty fantastic record:)check the Threshold jukebox for audio shortly!
Show at the Delancy and other updates!

Greetings friends and woodland creatures!

If you feel like contributing to the cause or participating in the walk with us, you can find out more on the team page. Hope to see you there!
Studio update: The woods have been hard at work tracking our new album at Threshold Recording Studios NYC for the last several weeks. (See the photographic evidence of our efforts below!) We are approaching the conclusion of this “yet to be named” record that we know you’re going to adore, because it has been made with oodles of love. We will be posting soon about how you can help us finish this project, release these songs, and receive some awesome rewards in return. Stay tuned!

“We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but if you don’t we get real pissed. ”
We Are the Woods music and unicorns by: Christina Morelli – October 10, 2011
There’s something endearing and catchy about the non-traditional ways that We Are The Woods approach everything from their marketing to their lyrics. Strong voices, beautiful harmonies, and simple melodies speak volumes over the standard folk scene in Brooklyn and New York. Consisting of Jessie Murphy, Marcia Webb and Tyler Beckwith, the trio offers an interesting blend of quirky song titles that match perfectly with their music, songs that both entertain and make thought-provoking statements simultaneously. Recent nominees for The Deli’s “Artist of the Month,” We Are the Woods is working on a steady stream of singles to release following up their debut album “Eight Belles.” The band will be playing the CMJ Showcase at The Living Room on October 19 at 9:30pm.
When did you officially become We Are The Woods?
We’d all been playing together in another project for a couple of years and then last spring we regrouped and formed We Are The Woods (you know the deal, naked baptism in a waterfall, double rainbow overhead, nightingales singing at the break of day).
What are the biggest outside influences to your sound?
Led Zeppelin, Gillian Welch, The Grateful Dead, Levon Helm, Neil Gaiman, Every type of Bear (big ups to Spirit Bears). The Mighty Boosh.
If you were to book your ideal tour, who would you be playing with? Led Zeppelin, Fleet Foxes, Neko Case, Pretty Lights
How do you differ from the other bands coming out of the New York music scene? The folk matrix is still audible, but here orchestral, pop and even psych elements take over the reins, basically we don’t take ourselves too seriously but if you don’t we get real pissed.
What’s on the horizon in the near future for the Woods? We’re playing a Deli CMJ show on Oct 19th at the Living Room. We’re recording a steady stream of hits and releasing them one by one on the interwebs via our YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/werthewoods#p/f). We’re planning on carving pumpkins and ruling the school with pumpkin town 2011.
