After spending the earlier part of his career in the wilderness, woods had managed to crawl out of obscurity with the minor success of ?2012’s \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory Will Absolve Me\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDour Candy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, 2013’s collaboration with underground legend\u003cstrong\u003e Blockhead\u003c\/strong\u003e drew accolades, which only increased with \u003cstrong\u003eArmand Hammer’s\u003c\/strong\u003e debut \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRace Music\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen, woods dropped out of sight for two years before returning with Today, I Wrote Nothing, a record that deviated significantly from what had come before. ?Where Dour Candy had been concise and focused, TIWN was a sprawling 24 tracks. Where History Will Absolve Me was anchored by hard-hitting beats, anthemic songs, and a couple high powered features, TIWN was comprised of short vignettes, quietly eclectic production, and the only guests were his Backwoodz label-mates. Only one video was released; the claustrophobic “Flatlands”, shot on a shoestring budget in a Brooklyn housing project. Reviewers didn’t know quite what to make of the record, and in many cases, neither did fans.?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs is often the case for woods’ albums, many perspectives shifted as the years passed. Listeners came to see the sad, quiet beauty of Today, I Wrote Nothing; a road trip album that doubles as a meditation on life’s journeys and death’s hiding places. The album’s power is in it’s intimacy, it’s insistence on holding your hand through the darkness. Now, TIWN is considered one of the more unique and vital records in woods catalogue. The dynamic woods created with TIWN vis-a-vis History Will Absolve Me and Dour Candy is one that would come to define his ouerve; constant experimentation, a refusal to be pigeonholed, and an unwavering search for the emotional heart of his subject. For us at Backwoodz, being able to repress this album on it’s ten year anniversary is especially sweet, because we remember how long it took us to sell that original run of 500. To everyone who copped one of those and helped us keep the lights on, this is for you too, we couldn’t have gotten here otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by Messiah Musik, Aesop Rock, Blockhead, Willie Green, Elucid, ?DOSG4W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 ? ? ? ?Lost Blocks\u003cbr\u003eA2 ? ? ? ?The Big Nothing\u003cbr\u003eA3 ? ? ? ?Flatlands\u003cbr\u003eA4 ? ? ? ?Woodhull\u003cbr\u003eA5 ? ? ? ?U-Boats\u003cbr\u003eA6 ? ? ? ?Zulu Tolstoy\u003cbr\u003eA7 ? ? ? ?Warmachines\u003cbr\u003eA8 ? ? ? ?Carpetbagger\u003cbr\u003eB1 ? ? ? ?Born Yesterday\u003cbr\u003eB2 ? ? ? ?Sleep\u003cbr\u003eB3 ? ? ? ?Scales\u003cbr\u003eB4 ? ? ? ?Poor Company\u003cbr\u003eB5 ? ? ? ?Dreams Come True\u003cbr\u003eC1 ? ? ? ?Bicycles\u003cbr\u003eC2 ? ? ? ?African Dodger\u003cbr\u003eC3 ? ? ? ?Lambs\u003cbr\u003eC4 ? ? ? ?Slow Week\u003cbr\u003eC5 ? ? ? ?Weeper\u003cbr\u003eC6 ? ? ? ?RPMS\u003cbr\u003eD1 ? ? ? ?Dark Woods\u003cbr\u003eD2 ? ? ? ?True Stories\u003cbr\u003eD3 ? ? ? ?Borrowed Time\u003cbr\u003eD4 ? ? ? ?Benediction\u003cbr\u003eD5 ? ? ? ?Good Night\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"billy woods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53853217259863,"sku":"BWZ803C-LP","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/1104\/5463\/files\/billywoodstoday.png?v=1782183972","url":"https:\/\/www.discotecavinyl.com\/products\/today-i-wrote-nothing-10th-anniversary-coke-bottle-2xlp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
