Big Big Train’s Woodcut is a landmark release marking the band's first ever full-length conceptual piece.
“The story isn’t set in any particular timeframe, but it’s about The Artist, who is struggling with life,” founding member Gregory Spawton begins. “He takes a stroll and finds this piece of heartwood and creates something that he considers beautiful and different. Maybe it’s a dream or maybe it’s real life, but he finds himself stepping into this Narnia-style woodcut world.”
Woodcut sees all seven BBT members making stunning contributions, with frontman Alberto Bravin taking the lead as producer.
“This time it’s kind of a new statement for the band. Woodcut is a big step forward for us,” Bravin comments.
Featuring 16 tracks across a 66-minutes of runtime, Woodcut is epic without outstaying its welcome.
The album is graced with a striking cover design from Dorset-based artist Robin Mackenzie - a black and white woodcut print, of course - derived from a woodcut which the band commissioned from him specifically for the album.
Limited CD + Blu-ray edition, including extensive liner notes as well as Dolby Atmos and 5.1 mixes by Shawn Dealey of Sweetwater Studios.
On the 5th February, Big Big Train’s Woodcut will be premiered in Dolby Atmos immersive audio at a special event taking place at The Gallery @ Tileyard Studios in King’s Cross, London. Alberto Bravin, Greg Spawton and Claire Lindley from BBT will be taking part in a Q&A with Prog journalist Jo Kendall.
