Music Review: “Up in the Pine” by Heather Woods


TRACK 1

“Up in the Pine”

From Heather Woods Broderick’s Glider

WESTERN VINYL

Liner notes: Prepare for liftoff (or vertigo) on this shimmering fusion of visceral, ethereal sounds, featuring acoustic guitars, murmuring synths, and swirling voices.

Behind the music: A member of Sharon Van Etten’s band, the Portland, Oregon, resident has cited everyone from Neil Young to William Faulkner as an influence.

Check it out if you like: Sound manipulators like Juana Molina and Julianna Barwick.

We couldn’t find a video for “Up in the Pine” online, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a feel for Woods Broderick. The above audio is of “A Call for Distrance” one of the other songs on Woods Broderick’s new album Glider.

DECEMBER IS MAKE OR BREAK

A full one-third of our annual fundraising comes in this month alone. That’s risky, because a strong December means our newsroom is on the beat and reporting at full strength—but a weak one means budget cuts and hard choices ahead.

With only days left until December 31, we've raised about half of our $400,000 goal—but we need a huge surge in reader support to close the remaining gap. Whether you've given before or this is your first time, your contribution right now matters.

Managing an independent, nonprofit newsroom is staggeringly hard. There’s no cushion in our budget—no backup revenue, no corporate safety net. We can’t afford to fall short, and we can’t rely on corporations or deep-pocketed interests to fund the fierce, investigative journalism Mother Jones exists to do. That’s why we need you right now. Please chip in to help close the gap.
