Wooden Arms – Burial (Butterfly Collectors)

| Wooden Arms - Burial |
Release Date: Out Now
This tune has been out for a
couple of weeks now but I wanted to get something out there in case you are
able to get to one of the forthcoming dates – and you should if you can.
Norwich’s Wooden Arms write music for murder to happen to – not passionate,
angry murder but forlorn, inevitable, heartbroken murder. ‘Burial’ opens with
the kind of piano and violin duet that should accompany the mists of morning
rolling over a still warm body in an abandoned allotment somewhere, well,
somewhere like Norwich. As the theatrical nature of the music is given
direction by a solid rhythm and droning bass, this song transforms in to a serious
contender for indie-rock stardom. The sombre elements of Elbow (and sense of
humour if you watch the video) are there as well as hints of the much missed
Winter Kings, the National and Hozier. This is sinister, brooding stuff
befitting of the song title but with a sense of optimism and hope that comes
erupting from the tumultuous crescendo of frenzy. That same hope is not
mirrored in the video – you have been warned.
