Immediately establishing themselves as a heartfelt and thoughtful addition to the UK’s indie-folk scene, emerging band Woodpig have made their studio debut with the release of the immersive single ‘When the Winds Came’, a moving exploration of themes like moving on and acceptance that really strike a chord with you as a listener.

Written during a time that coincided with a period of personal loss and the end of a relationship, the track has a real authenticity and honesty to its poignant lyrics thanks to its stripped-back instrumentation as the band have built it up from acoustic to a full band sound. The heart of indie-folk lies in the storytelling and world-building that envelops it, and this track does a really great job of doing that through its introspective writing and a painstaking honesty and openness that is sure to resonate with anybody who has been through similar periods of reflective and hardship.
