The follow-up to 2019's 'Legacy! Legacy!' is titled 'Water Made Us' and will arrive on October 13 via Jagjaguwar.
Alongside the news, the Chicago singer-songwriter has released the record's first single, Tiny Garden, which features Duendita contributing additional soft vocals to its dreamy, uplifting mix produced by Wynne Bennet. Woods said:
"Tiny Garden is a song about the way my heart works, the slow and steady way I love. In my directorial debut, I wanted to create a visual representation of how I often feel in relationships, like I’m having huge feelings that I end up expressing in small specific ways.
"The video takes place across two landscapes, the reality of a shared apartment at the tail end of winter and an imagined “heartspace” where everything is lush and green. I worked with my friend and frequent collaborator Po Chop on the choreography, so that the movement becomes the key to merging these two worlds—everywhere I dance, something grows."
Commenting on the record, she added: "'Water Made Us' feels like the most personal and vulnerable piece of art I’ve ever made. I love creating from source material, diving deep into a subject and extrapolating from what I discover. We sat in the house for two years and I became my own source material.
"Shout out to the therapists, the astrologers, the family members, and friends who listened, who helped me process and transform my journaled thoughts and questions into this body of work. I hope it feels like a playlist that carries you through the life cycle of a relationship, whatever stage of the journey your heart may be in."
Since her last record, Woods has put out a series of singles, including a cover of Tracy Chapman's folk staple Fast Car, and WYD with Peter CottonTale from the independent film Summertime.
