Description/Reviews:
Grumblewood are a progressive folk-rock quartet from Wellington, New Zealand. Their debut album ‘Stories of Strangers’ features eight tales of fortune, fable, daring and demise, and explores the lyricism, rhythms, and role of folk music, mixing it up with a bit of jazz, a bit of baroque, and a lot of rock.
The band has taken the very unusual and artistic step of recording, mixing and mastering entirely in analogue and the result is a warm and charming album that appears born of the golden era of progressive music.
“The album sounds like it was made in the early 1970s. The songwriting and musicianship is fantastically engaging.” – Robin Armstrong, Cosmograf/Gravity Dream
