Unpretentiously unique moments created with guitar, drums, vocals and electronic companions, somewhere inbetween the composure of Lambchop, The Notwist and the electronic tonal language of Acid Pauli. Sebastian Bode and Jonas Wolter leave space for the music.

"Yellow Walls" (January 2019) is the band's fourth album, a logical consequence of their perpetual pursuit, which has already blurred the boundaries between work and music, output and opus. Carefully arranged, quiet and forceful, small and arrested in the moment. Gently pushing beats, crystalline guitars, wide surfaces and well-planned coincidences. Chord progressions and loops make it clear why the band opened for Tortoise in 2016. Bulky, yet never unruly, Bode and Wolter constantly stop on the threshold of pop music. Rhythms, movements, condensed soundscapes and moods transform into small sound installations with beats and vocals.

For the past ten years, Wooden Peak have been able to create an audible image of the present. Whether as an ensemble with horns on the Polygon EP (2015) or in changing line-ups for the Yellow Walls tour, the band constantly change their musical complexion, yet always leaves their stylistic core in full view.

In other words: music with zeitgeist, as well as heart and brain.
