"The Woodpile" comes from Pedestrian Verse, the fourth album by Scottish indie rockers Frightened Rabbit and their first for Atlantic, released in February 2013. It's a record where the songwriting spread out across the whole band, and the credits bear that out: Scott Hutchison wrote the words, but the music is split five ways, between him, Grant Hutchison, Billy Kennedy, Andy Monaghan and Gordon Skene.
Skene, the guitarist and keyboardist, only made this one studio album with them, leaving after the tour that followed it. Leo Abrahams produced the track with the band, and Craig Silvey mixed it.
