Some Details...
Wooden Arms are a Norwich-based contemporary band featuring Jess Diggins on Violin, Fynn Titford-Mock on Cello, Alex Carson on Piano, Jeff Smith on Guitar and Milly Hirst and Lydia Walker on Vocals.
With 6-part vocal harmonies and a distinctive yet delicate blend of classical instrumentation meets modern melody, Wooden Arms have released their debut, self-titled EP with independent record label Bare Feet Records in the summer of 2013. They are currently working on a new single slated for release in February 2014 called “Tide”.
The self-titled EP took nearly 2 years to write and 9 months to record. Produced by Wild Beasts and iLiKETRAiNS engineer David Pye. They are continuing to work with David on their new single “Tide” which looks to combine more orchestral elements with modern production.
“Wooden Arms have emerged with a brooding and delicate classical-folk song that is smothered in subtlety, tension and lush reverb.” - The 405
"(Chariclia) A most beautiful piece of music... Somewhat reminiscent of a Winged Victory for the Sullen with that sort of emotion and tone to it... Absolutely bewitching." - Simon Raymonde (Bella Union)
“main songwriter / pianist Alex Carson’s voice is mesmerizing; his piano work intricate and beautiful. The accompanying instrumentation - violin, cello and guitar - is employed to brilliant effect, with the backing vocals (including, again, those of Milly Hirst) deftly haunting...” - Apeman Vinyl
“...all soft and classical, producing beautiful music with a group of talented musicians who come in and out of the band with each performance, making for a continually evolving sound.” - BBC Introducing
“We love Wooden Arms for their harmonies; their piano; string solos; everything.” - Dance Yrself Clean
