Tribes frontman and film composer Johnny Lloyd is set to release his new solo album, ‘Punchline’, on 31st January.
Johnny Lloyd’s fourth solo album, ‘Punchline’, will be released on 31st January 2025, via the Xtra Mile Recordings label. Produced by musician and producer Max Clilverd (who has previously worked with Tom Odell, Holly Humberstone and earlier Johnny Lloyd albums), it’s a record that places Lloyd’s songwriting talents under the warmth of the spotlight; its pared-back arrangements illuminating songs rich in eternal themes of love, loss and letting go.
Of the upcoming album, Johnny states:“If there was one album I’ve made to showcase my music I would want it to be this one. I started writing the album at the end of 2022 when the world was still transitioning out of the pandemic and I feel like that feeling is present in the music. I pushed as hard as I could creatively to go places I haven’t previously been… I am very grateful for the amazing musicians who played on this album and to Max Clilverd for bringing it together.”
Poignant and personal in its subject matter, laidback and lush in atmosphere; the upcoming album from the singer, songwriter and composer promises to be a career-affirming collection of songs. Due for release on 31st January 2025 (via the Xtra Mile Recordings label), the new album emerges following a prolific period of songwriting for TV and film (where he won the RTS Best Original Music Award for ‘I Hate Suzie’) as well as a new album and tour with his band Tribes.
