“The Brooklyn band's seventh album features more disciplined songwriting, and the production offers more clarity and variety than ever before. While 2011's Sun and Shade exhibited Woods' jammy side amid the usual folk-pop gems, Bend Beyond is all pop, all the time.”
“With Bend Beyond, Woods makes the most noticeable change of their past three records with a serious attitude adjustment, presenting more warm, bright, inviting songs than ever.”
