Former Jam Records staff member is off in London making music and releasing records. You can order his newest effort here. Decamping from Falmouth’s coastal climes to the capital, The Golden Dregs lend a streetwise silt to their cache, a dusky afterglow overlaying the rustic tundra traversed on Lafayette. Where the latter flexed between The Allman Brothers Band’s scrappy southern rock and Room On Fire-era Strokes in approach, Hope Is For The Hopeless plays a slick, notably more polished hand; boasting an interplay of delicate tonal tilts that glide in a fine-tuned fusion. Deployed with dry disaffection, Woods rolls through a dimly lit nocturnal landscape; cynicism wielded with seasoned sophistication, eclipsing that which could be reasonably expected from a sophomore effort. A sense of maturity can certainly be detected in the pool of influence bearing on its weather-beaten outlook, as well as its range of stylistic cadences; traces of alt-country, neo-psych and glam-rock coalescing in a skewed trinity that unfolds with tranquil, flowing fashion, furnished with a smooth artistic acumen that proves a rare trait. The crooning, Arthur Miller-nodding, “Death Of A Salesman”, for example, harks to early-'70s Roxy Music and Fifth Dimension-era Byrds for inspiration; a showering of strings blazing alongside lyrics entrenched in knowing resignation: “No, I don't believe in much / A fearful thing, to love what death can touch”. A combination of seductive textures and jagged wisdom that never ceases to allure. The outfit invoke a bygone late-twentieth century aesthetic throughout the LP’s eleven-track expanse; a sojourn seared with nostalgia but unquestionably fresh in execution. Channelling the baritone drawl of Lou Reed on “Nobody Ever Got Rich (By Making People Sad)”, Woods walks on the wild side of tumbleweed-strewn Americana, skirting through a credo rooted in acceptance and weariness: “Loose loose end / Tattered in pieces I know / Needles and threads won’t mend”. But it’s the rippling “Queen Of Clubs” that presents The Golden Dregs at their simmering best; climaxing in a concoction of ascending sax and keys, while the wired quasi-psych-country of “Pathos” and “Just Another Rock” pivots between Captain Beefheart and Meat Puppets respectively; lilts of Todd Rundgren tearing through at the edges. Carveresque in its brooding blue-collar undercurrent, Woods establishes the tectonics of a living breathing environment, a soundtrack to happy hour in some smoke-ridden edge-of-town bar; therein which lies its indubitable magic. The beauty of Hope Is For The Hopeless is distilled through its whisky jar half-empty lens, a panoply of frayed flickering sonic snapshots which repeatedly reward; inviting and enticing into a heady urban safari that the listener can just sink and fade into.

Top of the line, best pillows Ive ever had
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
These pillows are top of the line! I bought them in 2024 and they are still fluffy. When they lose a little fluff, you just punch em around a little bit and voila, like new again. They have kept their shape cery well and do great for cooling. I haven't had to add more filling yet either. I just laid my head on one and thought, I need to do a review cause everytime i lay on these pillows its like clouds. My head is heavy and this is relief :-D

Weird smell
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
The pillows are great for someone looking for something cool and comfortable. We loved them so much that we bought a second pair. However, we were seriously disappointed with the odor of our last purchase. They give off a strong and indescribable chemical/burning plastic smell so nauseating that it’s difficult to sleep with. We’re hoping this issue will resolve with a couple more washes of the pillow cases, but am worried the source is the stuffing itself.

helped treat my sore neck
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Camping Pillow(Pack of 1)
This pillow — after dialing in the right amount of shredded foam — has greatly helped my sore neck. Initially, I had to remove some foam. Then I gradually added foam until it reached optimum comfort and support. It is also CPAP-friendly — especially when I position my head near the pillow's edge. (I am a left-side sleeper.) I like the travel size because I use a bulky hugging pillow to ease stress on my shoulder and elbow. That makes my side of the bed feel cramped if using a larger head pillow. A smaller pillow is easy to flip end-to-end in the middle of the night. I have spent lots of money on pillows over the years, but this is the best I've ever had for relieving [1] neck pain and [2] CPAP mask seal problems. Very comfortable, supportive, and affordable. I did not notice any unpleasant smell — and I am usually sensitive to that kind of thing. Would highly recommend.

Love them!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Love them! After 10 years with our MyPillows, they finally lost their fluff. The reviews I read of the MyPillows of today were not good; they didn’t have as much filling as they used to. These pillows remind me of how fluffy our new MyPillows were 10 years ago!! You sink right into them and can mush them however and they stay. These are way cheaper than the Coop and it’s the same concept; add or remove the filling as needed. The cooling side is a huge plus too! You won’t be disappointed with these pillows!

Soft and smooth cover
Color: Grey, Size: Body(20"X 54")
This is a nice pillow cover overall. The fabric feels good and it's comfortable to sleep on, especially compared to a more basic cotton cover. It is maybe a little thinner than I expected, so if you want something thick and heavy this probably isn't that. But for a soft smooth cover that fits and feels decent, I think it's worth it. No major complaints from me after using it.
