Profile Information

Bio:: Woodenmouth is intentionally different: whether it's the chord arrangements, structure or the subject matter of the song, it is inspired, contrived, and arranged to have indeterminate genre flavors mixed together for cumulative sonic emotional stimulation while circumnavigating stylistic climates. Since the formation of Woodenmouth in 2008, we continue to bring our various favorite influences together to generate surplus power for the musical grid. We love to write, and we love to perform, and we love the ever changing sonic loom where we construct our temporary edifices. Coming from different musical backgrounds has benefited us in every way, from our influences to our employment of musical theory to do battle against the tropes of the day. Influenced by Post-Rock [Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky] sometimes, and Vintage Rock [Talking Heads, Supertramp] other times, met with tastes from current Indie Rock [Menomena, Sufjan Stevens] blended with each of our pasts spent with Punk, Prog, Electronica, even Rockabilly lending the influential currency to the bank of Woodenmouth. Thus, we make our deposits and withdrawals as often as our physical investment will allow. Structurally inventive with a courageous tendency to surpass the common three to five minute song limitation, our songs are a never-ceasing exploration of musical mechanisms.
