Wooden Arms are a genre-fluid contemporary quintet from the UK who draw from Alternative, Classical, and Trip-Hop music.
Not only has the sound shifted to a more contemporary texture but the way the pieces are composed has changed. The focus has shifted from classically trained pianist Alex Carson to a writing trio between Alex Carson, Jeff Smith (Trumpet & Guitar) and Alex Mackenzie (Drums). This more collaborative style of writing has led to a more refined, honed sound which can be heard on their debut single “Burial” taken from their forthcoming album.
‘Burial’ lulls the listener into a somniferous somber lullaby in its first section, a peace which is broken by a pulsating trip-hop heart-beat bassline. ‘Burial' continues to ramp up a sense of dread until finally it culminates in a furious, cacophonous clattering of sound.
