Hood – Photographers 7"

Previously only available at gigs. It includes three exclusive, non–lp tracks, which were recorded around the same time as the stellar LP from 2003, 'Cold House'. This EP shows a more mournful and acoustic side of Hood. The first 500 copies of this record came with a unique Hood photograph. The remaining copies will be blank. But that's not so bad because then you can design your very own Hood–style artwork!

Songs

1. Photographers

Reviews

Soundproof Magazine

Recorded in November 2001 for distribution on their eventual tour, this somber seven–inch has all the lonesome qualms of winter as ensconced in Hood's now–trademarked plaintive acoustic guitar and violin trickery.

For those expecting something akin to their recent electronic–tinged material for Domino, be forewarned: 'Photographers' sounds more like classic Hood, the Hood of the late nineties that expressed itself more through simplicity than complexity. If anything, this comes off more like the 1998–era material produced for them by Third Eye Foundation's Matt Elliot.

The record is backed with a delicate coupling of songs, 'Winter Will Set You Back' and 'Late Farming', which pick up where the A–side left off. Such sad, sad material. The songs' titles basically describe the music far more efficiently than we could ever claim to do.
