Irish multi-media artist Hilary Woods has released a surprise new EP Feral Hymns, today via Sacred Bones Records, which is available digitally and as a limited edition run of 300 cassettes exclusive to Bandcamp.
Feral Hymns is a collection of powerful and cavernous compositions, produced by Hilary and mixed and mastered by frequent collaborator Lasse Marhaug. The EP uses rich string orchestration, electronics, textured field recordings and ethereal vocal instrumentation to create a beautiful lulling and compelling series of dimensional drones.
Speaking about the new record, Woods said: "A collection of hymns set at dusk. Speckled memory, dust, earth, grit, ritual and chant – purged in the shadows. Unspoken bonds, primal pain, cyclical patterns, unsent love letters. Homemade recordings, made at home."

Feral Hymns is a significant step away from Woods' previous work and can be taken as a standalone record for an ever-evolving artist as she continues to work on a new full-length album.
