The Woodlands, a wife and husband indie folk-pop duo, craft songs of lyrical poetry, lush melody and lingering revelry. They conjure faraway lands and the longing of lovers with timeless imagery that unearths both the shadow of tragedy and the glisten of wonder. Hannah's hushed voice of swift beauty conveys both mirth and melancholy, tempered and surrounded by Samuel's melodic instrumentation. They till the soil of their souls to reap songs and sounds wrapped in a hauntingly sweet hush of wonder.

After backpacking through Europe several years ago, they returned to the US and began writing songs together. Awhile later, the pair sold their belongings and voyaged to Central America for yet another adventure as they learned the language, worked as orphanage volunteers and continued crafting their songs. Upon a deeper realization that they had been smitten by the merriment of making music, they returned to the US with a gleam and a goal of recording an album and pursuing music further.

They found themselves in a corner of their Portland apartment bedroom amidst an aged and worn wooden desk, elusive quiet night hours, and a homemade studio fort of blankets and pillows. There The Woodlands traveled the byways of one another's souls--seeking, listening and searching for words and sounds with which to share what they found. They independently recorded and produced their 2009 self-released debut album, true to their intent of capturing intimate songs of simple complexity that sound professionally homemade. The album has been received with both national and international praise, and with its release The Woodlands are set to embark as husband, wife and songlings on the voyage forthcoming.
