Album:
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.
