Captured Tracks released Wooden Glove, the 12″ ep by Ben Cook and Aerin Fogel‘s The Bitters, earlier this year. According to The Bitters’ myspace blog Ben Cook will be in France touring with Fucked Up, but it appears that Aerin Fogel will be at the Festival:

It’s no secret that I have been digging on Ben Cook’s Young Governer 7″, and I picked up Wooden Glove many months back when Academy noted that it was another one of his projects. It was one of those that took a little while to sink in, but now I love it. Here is what Jeremy Earl, of Woods, had to say about The Bitters’ track “Warrior” in Woods’ recent interview with Pitchfork:
On our last tour in Europe, this song by Toronto’s Bitters became our anthem. Sort of pumped me up.
Check out the album and the track:

Woods go on at the Woodsist/Captured Tracks Festival at 7:30pm on July 4th. If you are there for their set be sure to keep an eye out for Aerin…I’m sure the songs she will preform will be wonderful.
