” It’s sad, it’s lovely, and it evokes a world I’ll probably never live in, but one that feels familiar all the same” (Drowned In Sound, ‘Lost 12 of 2012’)
To mark the occasion I released some new music as part of Lost Map’s Postcard club…and I got to make my own postcard….LOVE IT

I’m extremely excited to announce that I’m going on tour this August. Old tunes, new tunes with the odd yarn thrown in for good measure and as much sonic mayhem as I can muster, imagine the splendor of Elvis’ comeback show in Las Vegas relocated to Exeter, Guildford etc and you’ll start to get an idea of what to expect…ticket info here
It’s happening, a real show (2 shows actually – an early show at 18:00/later show at 20:00) in one of my very favourite venues in London!!! See below for ticket details
‘When I chatted with Domino about scheduling this album for release last November, we knew there was a chance that the launch wouldn’t be the usual red carpet affair. But, ever the optimist, I went ahead and released it anyways. 6 months later and the red carpet is finally being rolled out for a launch of sorts in London’s Oslo on June 11th
Buried beneath the noise and the religious poetry and the stage invaders there’s an album of songs that are as personal as any I’ve written and I’m really, really excited to find out how it all translates into a full live show…all in front of a real audience! There’s even talk of rehearsals happening, joy. Join us on June 11th’
Its called A BAG OF EYES and its my second for Domino Records, its coming out NOVEMBER 6th and I’m very proud of it. Pre-order it on limited edition violet coloured vinyl from Domino Mart: smarturl.it/ABagOfEyesLP. Look how nice it is!!!
The album was recorded over two years and features Emma Smith, Meilyr Jones, Leo Abrahams, Aram Zarikian & John Fogarty amongst others. I’ve got lots more to say about it but for now check out our vid below to hear the first single Johnny K.
