Hilary Woods releases foreboding new track "The Mouth"

03 March 2020, 16:59 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Hilary Woods is back with foreboding new track "The Mouth", a third preview of her forthcoming album Birthmarks.

"The Mouth" lands after previous singles "Orange Tree" and "Tongues of Wild Boar".

Woods says of the new offering, "The impulse to write "The Mouth" came from a longing to articulate feelings aloud that I failed to express til the moment had passed. Braiding together harmonies of distorted vocals and heavy drone woven with saxophone and strings was my own way of exorcising the demise of a relationship that could no longer be resuscitated. "The Mouth", the threshold of expression and healing."

Birthmarks will follow on from Woods' 2018 debut album Colt.

The new album was recorded between Galway and Oslo in winter 2019 while Woods was heavily pregnant.

"The Mouth" is out now. Hilary Woods' Birthmarks album arrives via Sacred Bones on 13 March, and is available to pre-order now. She plays London's Cafe Oto on 18 May. Find out more.
