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.
"Hugely original and entertaining"
Rock-a-Rolla
"Wounded Knee is evocative, at times witty, and on occasion, haunting."
The Skinny
"Entrancing, disorientating, and awesome... a significant addition to the contemporary Scottish music canon."
