Grab the track for free <a title="'The Wooden Heart' Single" href="http://kramies.bandcamp.com/releases">here</a> or stream the track below.

Produced by <a title="Todd Tobias" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/todd-tobias/">Todd Tobias</a> (Guided By Voices, Robert Pollard, Circus Devils), ‘The Wooden Heart’ is a kaleidoscopic introduction to Kramies’ beautiful new release. The song’s windswept grandeur is married to an emotional directness that demands your attention and doesn’t let go. Akin to The Moody Blues’ classic ‘Nights In White Satin’, ‘The Wooden Heart’ renders an immersive, widescreen pop vista that takes your breath away.

In addition to Todd Tobias’s production (on ‘The Beginning’, ‘The Wooden Heart’, ‘Upon The Northern Isles’ and ‘The Ending’), <em>The Wooden Heart</em> EP also features the production and instrumental talents of Jason Lytle of Grandaddy fame (on ‘Sea Otter Cottage’ and ‘Clocks Were All Broken’). Rounded out by the beautiful artwork of French photographer <a href="http://photographique.fr/" target="_blank">Jérôme Sevrette</a>, <em>The Wooden Heart</em> EP is a lovingly constructed work of art.
