Big Big Train - Woodcut - The Making and the Meaning (Stuart)

Woodcut – The Making And The Meaning has been written to complement the release of Woodcut, the new studio album by award-winning progressive rock band Big Big Train. The book allows readers to discover how a chance visit to Oslo’s Munchmuseet during the band’s 2023 European tour lit a spark between Gregory Spawton and Alberto Bravin that grew into the band’s most ambitious album to date: from a single woodcut print to an exploration of the universal through the light and darkness of artistic hopes and thwarted dreams. Drawing on candid interviews, lyrical notes and personal reflections from every member of the band, the book explores not only how the album was made but also why it matters – the stories woven into its lyrics, the cultural forces that shaped its sound and the emotional resonance it carries for listeners.
