Bone Coloured 12rdquo 180g vinyl in gatefold sleevenbsp300gsm gloss finishnbspFollowing up the highlypraised response to his previously shared offerings lsquoA.A. Gillrsquo and lsquo2666 Love In On Its Wayrsquo in recent months, fastrising singer and songwriter Jonny Woolnough has now returned to announce the details behind his highlyanticipated debut album lsquoMayurqarsquo, alongside the unveiling of his latest single lsquoYoursquove Got That Lookrsquo.Matching the same rich and vibrant flair he has brought to all of his releases to date, lsquoYoursquove Got That Lookrsquo makes for a wonderfully warm and uplifting continuation. Channelling a sweet and sweeping indierock aesthetic that perfectly showcases his most passionate songwriting, it gives us the most captivating snapshot of what we can expect from his forthcoming fulllength.Speaking about the new single, he said, ldquoI 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 ndash and thatrsquos what ended up on the album.rdquoOriginally written and conceived whilst living between mainland Spain and Palma De Mallorca during 201819, lsquoMayurqarsquo 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. lsquoMayurqarsquo 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 fulllength 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 Orrellrsquos forensic direction lsquoThe Naturalrsquo, a poem of visceral personal evocation and truth set to a musical Spanish vista bleeds seamlessly into the spiritual mantra of lsquoThe Earth From Aboversquo. Orrell embraced all this, pushed it ndash understood it.nbspIt was only when Woolnough finished the record and put the songs together he realised how desperate his life and mental state had become. lsquoMayurqarsquo 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 ldquoa map out of despair into the light, focused through the lens and legend of Spainrsquos deep beauty and all its contradictionsrdquo.nbspIn his Edificio Fenix apartment in Mallorca, Woolnough faced only himself and fought that toughest of life battles, the acceptance of onersquos truth. ldquoFor 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.rdquo
