With a number of seismic changes occurring in his life these past few years, Johnny’s debut solo album ‘Next Episode Starts In 15 Seconds’ sees the singer-songwriter start afresh with a cathartic record that reads like an open-diary of personal vignettes.
Melancholic, pared-back and moving, the new album is a bold departure from his roots as frontman of indie-rock outfit Tribes and sees him take a leap of faith into lush and dreamy pastures new. Recorded in a 10ft square bunker in north London in late 2018 with producer Nathan Coen, ‘Next Episode…‘ was further mastered at the famous Abbey Road Studios by Frank Arkwright. Each song that appears on the album was recorded in three takes or less, with the results a raw, pure and endearing listen through and through.
Special guest appearances also include Frank Turner, Hugo White (The Maccabees) and Adam Prendergast of Harry Styles’ band. For many a long time coming, the album is out now on the Xtra Mile Recordings Label.
