Bone Coloured 12 180g vinyl in gatefold sleeve(300gsm / gloss finish) Following up the highly-praised response to his previously shared offerings A.A. Gill and 2666 (Love In On Its Way) in recent months, fast-rising singer and songwriter Jonny Woolnough has now returned to announce the details behind his highly-anticipated debut album Mayurqa, alongside the unveiling of his latest single Youve Got That Look. Matching the same rich and vibrant flair he has brought to all of his releases to date, Youve Got That Look makes for a wonderfully warm and uplifting continuation. Channelling a sweet and sweeping indie-rock aesthetic that perfectly showcases his most passionate songwriting, it gives us the most captivating snapshot of what we can expect from his forthcoming full-length. Speaking about the new single, he said, I had the riff for years and was looking for a simple uncomplex song to balance the album. We could have presented this song any way we liked. That particular day we approached it in this way, with very little thought and thats what ended up on the album. Originally written and conceived whilst living between mainland Spain and Palma De Mallorca during 2018/19, Mayurqa documents a self discovery and emotional rebuilding of sorts. Jonny took an indefinite break from making music after forming the critically acclaimed bands Tomartyrs and The Bazaars, and as touring guitarist for Finley Quaye. Mayurqa constantly hints at its place of conception, yet draws its deft, classic beauty from Woolnoughs obvious deep pallet of influence. Having studied Literature at university, this new full-length sees him take regular influence from his literary favourites, regularly paying homage to them in the track titles. The island of Mallorca also played a large part in inspiring his new collection, being the home to any number of literary and musical figures from writer Robert Graves and George Sand to Chopin and Listz. With producer Tom Orrell at the helm the songs took on an exciting, sparse immediacy. Each song was briefly routined before pressing record and the song captured. Under Orrells forensic direction The Natural, a poem of visceral personal evocation and truth set to a musical Spanish vista bleeds seamlessly into the spiritual mantra of The Earth From Above. Orrell embraced all this, pushed it understood it. It was only when Woolnough finished the record and put the songs together he realised how desperate his life and mental state had become. Mayurqa was effectively a love letter to the Island and the country that had housed him back to health describing the songs and the album as a map out of despair into the light, focused through the lens and legend of Spains deep beauty and all its contradictions. In his Edificio Fenix apartment in Mallorca, Woolnough faced only himself and fought that toughest of life battles, the acceptance of ones truth. For me that is that I am an artist, I am a writer. Anything else is to dishonour the choice that was made for me aside of my control.
