Where In The World Is Donovan Woods?
I wish I knew more about Donovan Woods. I know he's Canadian and I know he has an upcoming EP, The Hold Up, which is absolutely stunning. That's about all the information I could find on this guy...no photos, no website, no myspace page, just these five beautiful, tender acoustic songs... I can't even find a place to buy the EP! If you're a fan of Bright Eyes, Sufjan Stevens, and the like, Please listen to these songs:
[MP3] Donovan Woods - Brand New Gun
[MP3] Donovan Woods - My Cousin Has A Grey Cup Ring
[MP3] Donovan Woods - I Ain't Saying She's Better Than You
UPDATE: I found this site which has a little bit of info on him, including his email address (from which presumably you can purchase the EP), a photo, and more tracks to download! - I guess I'm Floating

“ It looks really cold out there today. So I’m spending most of my day in doors
inside, listening to Donovan Woods and going through old text books that I
kept from university.”
