On Grace & Dignity

On 'Grace & Dignity's origins lie in winter 2020 when Benjamin Woods, aka, The Golden Dregs, lost his job in lockdown and moved back to his parents' house. The only work he could get was as a labourer on a poorly run building site on the grimmest outskirts of Truro. 'It was such a bleak winter - waist - deep in mud digging holes and rolling out turf on top of building waste, really grim stuff, which became the backdrop to the stories I was trying to write', he explains. In among the personal reflections on loss of innocence and inferiority, Woods spins subtly interweaving narratives about survival, desperate acts of violence, loss and the limitations of community in the face of rapacious gentrification. Nevertheless, it is, appropriately for an album about home, somewhere you'll want to spend a while. Life here proceeds at a graceful pace grounded by Woods's deep voice, which seems to resonate from his feet, as he delivers the sort of meticulously written lunar wisdom worthy of Lambchop's Kurt Wagner, or the tidy yet revelatory koans of Silver Jews' David Berman.
