The Golden Dregs is the project of singer/songwriter and producer Benjamin Woods. The Golden Dregs are a vehicle for Woods’s different musical output. He has released the albums Lafayette and Hope Is For The Hopeless. Today, Woods shares a new song from his upcoming album, On Grace & Dignity. “Sundown Lake” is a coming-of-age song full of nostalgia. Woods, is joined by Issie Armstrong on backing vocals – muses on hazy memories of teenage life in Cornwall.

Woods’ third album, On Grace & Dignity will drop on February 10th via 4AD. The full-length deals with the subject of his home and what it means to be shaped by a place – in this instance, Truro, Cornwall’s capital, home to a rare three-spired cathedral, a peaceful river and a lot of empty shops and flimsy out-of-town housing estates. 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. On Grace & Dignity unfolds at a graceful pace and is grounded by Woods’s deep voice, which seems to resonate from his feet. Written, recorded and produced by Woods from his South London home and childhood bedroom in Truro, it was mixed by Ali Chant (Perfume Genius, Aldous Harding) who provided additional production.
