"Strange to Explain, a dreamlike tapestry of psychedelic folk, Americana, and rock, explores themes of parenthood, memory, slumber, and that peaceful early morning quiet you get when your newborn is asleep. Written during a transitional period for the band, after frontman Jeremy Earl became a father and his bandmate, Jarvis Taveniere, moved to the West Coast, Strange to Explain represents some of Woods' most introspective and meditative work to date".
