The Whiskey Priest - The Wages Of Sin

The Whiskey Priest is Austin, Texas based songwriter Seth Woods. Seth moved to Austin in 2003, where he soon started making music with his band Sad Accordions. Around the time the band finished their first record, their writing process began to move towards a more collaborative effort, with less of an emphasis on already-existing individual songs. While this was a much needed and welcomed change for the band, it left Seth with a suitcase full of homeless songs... and as these things will often go, long stretches of heartache continued to add to his catalogue.

Heartache plus unused songs equals The Whiskey Priest.

Debut, Wave and Cloud, received considerable critical aclaim in the UK on its release in 2010. Seth followed the record with the spare and delightfully peculiar Lost Wages in 2011.
