Patterson Hood's New 2025 Solo Album Exploding Trees & Airplane Screams on LP. Featuring Guest Appearances From Waxahatchee, Wednesday and Lydia Loveless.

Patterson Hood's first solo record in over a decade was born out of a friendship with producer Chris Funk (The Decemberists). The pair would often perform together for fun and during Hood's solo tours, making far-off plans to make a record together. They eventually went into Jackpot Studios in Portland. Many of the songs were composed on piano marking a bigger departure from his work with Drive-By Truckers than prior solo efforts. Guest appearances from Waxahatchee, Wednesday and Lydia Loveless.
