Richie Woods creates music that feels like a secret shared in a dimly lit room. It is the quintessential sound of the bedroom pop era, defined by a deliberate low-fidelity aesthetic where tape hiss and pitch-warped synths are as important as the melodies themselves. The songs are often short, skeletal, and deeply intimate, sounding as if they were recorded onto a cassette deck in the middle of the night while the rest of the world was asleep.
What sets this project apart is the balance between tragic romance and a bizarre, almost surreal sense of humor. The vocals are often delivered in a breathy, deadpan style that makes even the most eccentric lyrics feel like profound confessions. There is a specific 'middle school' nostalgia baked into the DNA of the sound, evoking the feeling of being young, bored, and slightly overwhelmed by the world outside your window.
Start with the album 'ALL GOOD' to hear the project at its most refined, or dive into 'wow cool' for the raw, foundational energy of the early bedroom pop scene. It is music for people who find beauty in the imperfections of a home recording and the quiet drama of everyday life.
