Album Notes & Community Reviews
Featuring the brief inclusion of Neil Finn's brother Tim Finn as a full band member, 'Woodface' is a masterclass in incredibly melodic, harmony-rich pop rock. The album balances playful, deeply romantic lyricism with a warm, optimistic, and jangle-pop-infused acoustic rock sound.
