Woodsist

Woodsist is an independent record label based in Bolinas, California. Founded in 2006 by Jeremy Earl, who is also the frontman for the band Woods, the label is known for its focus on folk, psychedelic, and indie rock music.

Woodsist began as a platform to release Woods' own music and music by friends in the New York City music scene. Over time, the label has grown to include a diverse roster of artists from around the world. Notable artists who have released music on Woodsist include Kurt Vile, Real Estate, The Feelies, Jessica Pratt, and Kevin Morby.

The label is characterized by its DIY ethos and emphasis on fostering a community of artists. Woodsist has also been involved in organizing music festivals, most notably Woodsist Festival, which has become a significant event in the indie music calendar. The festival typically features bands from the Woodsist roster and other like-minded artists.

Woodsist's releases are often associated with a lo-fi aesthetic, though the label's sound has evolved over time. Its influence extends to shaping the sound of contemporary indie folk and psychedelic rock. The label continues to operate as an independent entity, maintaining its focus on artist development and releasing music it believes in.
