Woods Announce Tour And Split LP With Amps For Christ

8:26 a.m. · February 15, 2012 · by Nick Neyland

The always-busy Woods have been in the studio again, this time to record a split LP with the folk-noise crossover act Amps for Christ. The record is due out on Shrimper on CD on April 17 and vinyl on May 1, with each band performing four songs and one collaborative effort thrown in as well.

This project came out of a split 7-inch the two artists were collaborating on, which quickly grew in size and became a full-length album. It will be released at the same time as a tour by Woods—check out those dates below, along with the track listing for the band’s album with Amps for Christ.

Side One:

1. Amps For Christ "When"
2. Amps For Christ "Native Chantz"
