Wooden Arms

Patrick Watson

A percussive, experimental folk record built on the sounds of creaking wood, kitchen utensils, and Watson's signature glass-shattering falsetto.

Moments Worth Listening For
The rhythmic clatter of spoons and household objects that drives the title track into a frantic, woody gallop.
The sudden transition from sparse piano to a lush, cinematic swell in Beijing that feels like a camera pulling back.
The way the banjo and vocals intertwine in Big Bird in a Small Cage to create a lurching, beautiful folk duet.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
