Hilary Woods has announced her new album, Night CRIÚ, due out October 31 via Sacred Bones Records.
The record’s first single, “Endgames”, arrives alongside a self-made video that showcases Woods’ unique analogue film practice. Working with 16mm and Super 8 film, she hand-processed her own footage in the darkroom, layering it with archive clips, home videos, profile photographs by Joshua Wright, and her own drawings directly onto celluloid. The result is a deeply personal visual language that mirrors the song’s emotional weight.
The single is a haunting, beautifully restrained piece that lingers long after it ends. In both sound and vision, it reflects on the unspoken bonds that tie us to one another, opening a door into the shadowy, luminous world of Night CRIÚ.
Speaking about the LP, Woods shared: “Each record is a life buoy, a raft, a snapshot, a marker in the sand, a date that requires me to meet it. Making records is a way of being”.
