Dungen & Woods – Turn Around by Mexican Summer
With 2018’s Marfa Myths festival slated to take place in the idyllic namesake backdrop of far west Texas, Mexican Summer once more reveals the fruits of the previous festival’s recording residency. For the third Marfa Myths release, we’re proud to present seven all-new songs written and recorded by Stockholm’s psychedelic masters Dungen and adventurous Brooklyn indie-folk pioneers Woods. “Turn Around,” written by Woods’ Jeremy Earl in advance of the session, finds the instinctive human pulse that stitches together the best Woods tracks letting its guard down slightly to accommodate the presence of peers, with ornamental backing touches – the upper register piano lines in the chorus … that insistent, descending guitar lead … the faintly-strobing, parochial purr of a Mellotron – that bridge Woods’ conceptual purity with Dungen’s otherworldly studio talents.
