Wooden Maria – Well Wisher

Preachers of lust and loneliness, hypnotizing our alternative layers to mend our fractured hopes.

It’s spirit world imagery today binded with amplified otherworldly slo-mo power of predominantly folk and alternative rock. Oliver Muto (guitar, vocals) and Claire Storey (violin, vocals) have magnified my goosebumps and swished my soul away, as I listen to “Well Wishes” EP holding on to the last track “Well-Wisher”. During recording, band friend Joe Howard of Spry came on board with an extra guitar and bass…

The song is deeply haunting you can feel your heart racing over the melody to find some inner peace.  Poetic, saturating the struggles against the natural or supernatural forces of belief, “Well-Wisher” falls into a sea of chants, that will keep on repeating itself until time has told it’s tale.

Surely you will worship the sound as it hits the depth of wonders and mysteries through the gloom of light or never ending darkness.

Wooden Maria began as Oliver’s songwriting outlet/solo project and has organically grown over the last year to the current line up. For sure the music is genrefull as we love to say.  Beautiful and emotive music with dark undertones and epic in scale.
