About Woven Skull

Woven Skull began playing together in 2008 in the empty, sparse Irish countryside in a house owned by two of the members and located at the foot of Sheemore in Co. Leitrim. These surroundings helped to forge their music, which has been described as ‘minimal, repetitive, distorted, ugly and beautiful in one’. Several years experimenting with combinations of instrumentation, household objects, kitchen utensils, seashells, footsteps, chimes, recordings of cats purring and frogs mating led to their current sound which combines densely propulsive guitar, distorted mandola and endless cyclical rhythms. Woven Skull spew forth primal drones, self imagined ritual musics and damaged rock manouevres. "Like sweet bells jangled, out of time and harsh."
