Exploding Trees and Airplane Screams (Vinyl LP)
2024 marked forty years of music making from Drive By Truckers co-founder and songwriter Patterson Hood. Now, heading into a new decade of being one of the best in his biz, Hood has teamed up with The Decemberists' Chris Funk, and the likes of Wednesday, Waxahatchee, and Lydia Loveless, to record Exploding Trees and Airplane Screams, his first solo album in more than ten years. - Flying Out
Patterson Hood's first solo record in over a decade was born out of a friendship with producer Chris Funk (The Decemberists). The pair would often perform together for fun and during Hood's solo tours, making far-off plans to make a record together. They eventually went into Jackpot Studios in Portland. Many of the songs were composed on piano marking a bigger departure from his work with Drive-By Truckers than prior solo efforts. Guest appearances from: Waxahatchee, Wednesday and Lydia Loveless.
