about: At 26, Tom Woodward is a veteran of the underground folk / punk / rock scene, having played upwards of 400 gigs. He has played in various bands, most notably Melbourne death-folk rockers The Orphanage. His upcoming fourth solo album, Songs Before Time, was recorded at the end of a ten year bender. After years of writing on a trusty acoustic guitar in whatever lonely room he could muster the rent or the charity for, he decided he wanted to record an album without any overdubs or instrumentation. He wanted to capture the raw naivety of a song; the sheer adventurousness of it like the first time it is sung in that solitary bedroom. He called up old friend Adam Casey (the boy who spoke clouds) with the grand proposal of paying him a hundred dollars for an afternoon of time in his studio. Adam said okay, and Tom turned up the following Saturday with a six pack and a guitar, armed with twelve songs whose dates of creation spanned from the year 2001 to the previous night. What ensued was one of the most fruitful recording sessions of Woodward's rustic career. Marking an end to a prolific and turbulently creative decade of writing, Songs Before Time is the swansong to an era of self indulgence. What came of that era is sometimes beautiful, sometimes embarrassing, but always honest in its expression.
