Puff of Smoke, the highly-anticipated ninth studio album from Grammy Award-nominated, progressive Americana trio The Wood Brothers, has been announced for release on August 1, 2025, via Honey Jar/Thirty Tigers. The band has shared the album’s first single “Witness” accompanied by a video for the song filmed and edited by founding member and bassist Chris Wood. The song retains the band’s effortless rhythmic flow and sturdy musicianship, which have earned them a reputation as one of rock’s most versatile trios.
Recorded at The Wood Brothers’ creative home-base The Studio Nashville, Puff of Smoke is brimming with joy in the face of the human condition in 2025, delivering lyrical wisdom with the winking subtlety of John Prine and the musical hive mind of a seasoned group with two decades of shared experiences. But instead of providing a literal soundtrack to uncertain times or a roadmap to navigate them, the 11-song collection posits a happily contrarian outlook: Life can turn on a dime, and all we truly have is the moment at hand.
“We’re not in control and that can be good news,” says guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Oliver Wood. “Puff of Smoke speaks to the idea of letting go and taking the ride.”
