ABOUT THIS ARTIST
Hilary Woods is a Dublin born artist signed to Sacred Bones Records. Her LP "Colt" was released to critical acclaim in June 2018, followed by her sophomore LP "Birthmarks" in March 2020.
On Birthmarks, textural fog and feral density give way to passages of sonic exorcism, alchemy and poetic healing. Its songs traverse planes of visceral physicality, stark tender space and breathtaking beauty that ultimately transcend the record's disquiet roots. Deeply atmospheric and full of sombre allure, Hilary's work draws on song, sound, synthesis, field recordings, acoustics, drone, folk, noise, and the lone human voice, to make "Haunting compositions that stand on the edge of a knife" (Bandcamp).
