Listen: The Sound Of Bottles And Bicycles


From All Things Considered, NPR

Patrick Watson and his band The Wooden Arms defy easy categorization. Hailing from Montreal, the group takes inspiration from contemporary indie rock, cartoon music from the 1940s and impressionist composers. Their newest record is Wooden Arms, on which each song is a lush, deep soundscape, achieved using unconventional instruments and found objects. Depending on the song, you'll hear pots and pans or bottles and barrels.
