Influenced by the complexity and dedication of the 18th century violinmaker Peter Wamsley, the band came to view songwriting as a craft and themselves as craftsmen. The group adopted the British surname as their own, but the sound that they crafted rarely points to the classical music associated with their namesake. The group’s founder, singer-guitarist Nick Zwirlein, is foremost a classically trained cellist but seldom plays his 1735 Wamsley cello on the album. More often the band turns to intense-but-melodic rock/electronic/math fare that can’t help but be informed by the band’s academic roots.
