Big Big Train, the award-winning, progressive rock band, issue their 16th studio on 6th February 2026. Woodcut is a landmark release for the international group, whose line-up draws together members from England, Scotland, Italy, the USA, Sweden and Norway, in that it marks their first ever full-length conceptual piece. The story isnt set in any particular timeframe, but its about The Artist, who is struggling with life, founding member Gregory Spawton begins. He takes a stroll and finds this piece of heartwood and creates something that he considers beautiful and different. Maybe its a dream or maybe its real life, but he finds himself stepping into this Narnia-style woodcut world. A more band-based effort, Woodcut sees all seven members making stunning contributions, with frontman Alberto Bravin taking the lead as producer: This time its kind of a new statement for the band. Woodcut is a big step forward for us, he comments. fehn The album is graced with a striking cover design from Dorset-based artist Robin Mackenzie - a black and white woodcut print, of course, derived from a woodcut which the band commissioned from him specifically for the album.
