Paul Wigens (drums, violin) / Pete Judge (trumpet, electronics)

Eyebrow is a trumpet and drums duo based in Bristol, UK, formed in 2009. Its music evolves out of improvisations which are reassembled into structured pieces with an unexpectedly cinematic sweep, like journeys through slowly-changing landscapes.

In April 2026, the band releases its seventh studio album: And All The Giants , a collaboration with Bath-based writer Jon Hamp, whose evocative long-form poems explore landscape, history, and our relationship to both. Jon is the Kelston poet laureate, and his other projects include “The Other Side of the Tracks”, a collaboration with Bristol photographer Neil Phillips to document Bath City FC. “AATG” looks out across the sprawl of Bristol from the slopes of Kelston Roundhill, and summons up a new mythology. It was recorded at J&J Studios in Bristol by Pete’s Get The Blessing colleague Jim Barr. Launch gig on April 1st at The Architect on Bristol Harbourside. 

Eyebrow’s sixth album, Track Record, a collaboration with poetry collective The Spoke, was inspired by the railway line that runs between Bristol and Severn Beach (and supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, with additional funding from Severn Community Rail Partnership and A Forgotten Landscape).

You can download “Track Record” free of charge here (http://www.trackrecordarts.com/soundtrack), or buy the booklet/CD publication through Wales’ Mulfran Press. 

The band’s 5th album, Strata, was released in October 2017, and has been featured on BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction and BBC 6Music’s Freak Zone.

“They continually surprise, charm and challenge, creating very personal and distinctive music that is always, vividly alive. A genuine Bristol treasure” (jazzyblogman.wordpress.com)

“Amazingly symphonic. The ideal place for their music would be a cathedral, perhaps, or a clifftop, or maybe an asteroid” (The Bristol Post)

“Sepulchral, dappled trumpet and real live meaty drums; Eyebrow have been doing this kind of thing for a long time and have become very good at it. ‘Thaw’ – an insistent rhythmic ear-worm – is a belter” (Independent on Sunday)

“Bristol’s answer to Nordic Noir, the spare precision of drumkit paired with haunting FX-mutated trumpet echoing back from a cliff-bound fjord has an ageless simplicity that belies how subtle and clever the music is” (Bristol 24/7)

“Underneath floating clouds of trumpet come real drums, simple and perfect. It sounds like two real people are in a room somewhere, playing this stratospheric music. Simplicity and humanity: it is beautiful.” (Listomania Bath)

“The music is so damn beautiful. Right now it feels like essential listening” (Steve Day)

“Atmospheric, haunting, fascinating. Four stars” (AllAboutJazz)

“Unique avant garde soundscapes that draw you in and melt your troubles away” (JPSMusic)
