Bio

Big Cream, while being named after an infamous white lighter, combines subversive deep-roots songwriting with intricate arrangements; reminiscent of impressionist-classical pieces i.e. Claude Debussy, Erik Satie, and Olivier Messiaen. This New York City based band is driven by banjo/guitarist/vocalist Ben Mountain (Swiss-born and North Carolina bred) along with cellist Brent Arnold (a Seattle native who has recorded and toured with Modest Mouse and Sleater-Kinney), bass clarinetist/keyboardist J. Wall.

Big Cream's influences range from Leonard Cohen, David Bowie, Os Mutantes, Laurie Anderson, Velvet Underground, Beatles, Tom Waits to Blind Lemon Jefferson.
