The Weight of the Woods was largely written and recorded at a studio near Kennedy’s home in rural Ireland, alongside close collaborator Gabe Simon [Noah Kahan, Lana Del Rey]. Additional material for the album was also recorded at Simon’s studio in Nashville. Across its fourteen tracks, the album’s poetry and music draw inspiration, energy, and strength from Kennedy’s native Ireland.
