Woodcut

Big Big Train are happy to announce the release of their 16th studio album via InsideOutMusic on February 6th, 2026. "Woodcut" is a landmark release in that it marks their 1st ever full length conceptual piece. "Woodcut" is a continuous narrative exploring creativity, sacrifice and the thin line between inspiration and madness.

Big Big Train are also pleased to reveal the 1st single from the album, "The Artist", which is accompanied by a stunning video created by Crystal Spotlight.

Gregory Spawton comments, “'Woodcut' tells the story of a character we call 'The Artist', who is struggling with his creativity and with life. One day he is able to fashion a woodcut which he considers to be beautiful and different. Maybe it’s a dream or maybe it’s real life, but he finds himself stepping into the woodcut scene and into an alternative world.”

Featuring 16 tracks over the course of 66 minutes of run time, "Woodcut" feels epic without outstaying its welcome. From the intimacy of "Inkwell Black" to the grandeur of "Counting Stars", "Woodcut’ is a defiant analogue statement in a digital age, a handcrafted, deeply human exploration of art, faith and endurance.
