Deer Scout's debut full length Woodpecker is a record about memory and the subconscious. And like an unforgettable dream that keeps you puzzling over it's riddles for days, it's as packed with direct symbols as it is with ruminative haze. It's a culminating collection of the project's many sounds and influences to date, from Philly's punk cooperatives to Oberlin's conservatory experimentalism to New York's DIY history. At the center is Dena Miller's assured guitar fingerpicking and boldly clear voice, firmly grounded even as it gently probes uncertain emotional and musical terrain. Though Woodpecker is a record about uncertainty and the unknown, it's also about compassion and connection'as Miller was able to find over the course of writing and recording this next chapter for Deer Scout and first release for Carpark, which she's excited to at last share with the world.
