Hood - Cold House

Celebrating twenty years of British post-rock outfit Hood (HOOD the declining winter bracken Domino Recording Co)’s sixth album Outside Closer, released on this day in 2005.✨

Outside Closer is 20 years old today. Our celebrations begin and end with this tweet.

I was just thinking about the fact it was 20 yesterday! And sort of thinking whether and for how long the term sabbatical is used (technically rather than in this instance). Album is incredible, and great that Hood members have done some amazing music and continue to do so since!

20 years ago, HOOD — one of my all-time favorite bands — released their final studio album: Outside Closer. “Few bands convey the dreariness of the colder seasons, as well as the wistfulness for something better as well as Hood does.” opus.ing/reviews/outsid…

HOOD Happy 20th anniversary to the Masterpiece that is Outside Closer. One of the greatest albums of, well the last 20 years…I shall raise a glass of Aldi’s finest IPA in its honour. 🍺

After listening to Outside Closer last night, tonight was the turn of Silent ‘88. One of the very best albums of the nineties and sometimes my favourite Hood Lp! HOOD

Great news. I saw The Declining Winter just over a year ago at Bishop's House, and it was one of the most lovely evenings.

Slight.. (ok quite big) amendment to upcoming Leeds show. It’s now at a different place. All previously bought tickets valid. Also we are very pleased to add ADRA to the bill Tix: wegottickets.com/event/648395

A reminder (because I know it’s easy to forget these things) that we are on tour later this week with the wonderful Gayle Brogan / Pefkin Advance ticket sales are useful as it means we’ll panic less if we know people are coming linktr.ee/thedecliningwi…
