Listen now on Last.fm

Voice and delay unit. Recorded live to minidisc at home, Edina, Feb 2009.

Wounded Knee is Drew Wright, an Edinburgh-based experimental musician who has been releasing and performing music since 2004 and has developed a distinct, vocal oriented sound built from simple repeating live loops. He is a happy amateur. He doesn’t want to kill anybody.

Inspired as much by minimal techno as folk forms Wounded Knee eschews the verse-chorus model in favour of simple phrases and refrains; allied to rudimentary rhythms he creates a strange and timeless Janus music that looks both to the chants and worksong of the old and the mechanised minimalism of the new.
