SUMMARY:Jon Allen will celebrate the release of ‘Seven Dials’ by hitting the road with his band The Luna Kings
DESCRIPTION:  \nJon Allen’s recent tracks ‘White Gold’\, ‘The Shadow’ and ‘Nine Lives’ have captured evocative snapshots of the day-to-day struggles of 18th century Londoners – and those stories weave into an imaginative tapestry of what the streets of our capital must have felt like. The next chapter of this narrative is the release of his new single ‘Down With The Tide’ out now. \nThe new album ‘Seven Dials’ is released May 2nd. \nJon says\, “There is a feeling of defiance at the heart of ‘Down With The Tide’ – a refusal to let life’s inevitable misfortunes pull you under. The tide represents the forces that threaten to drag you down. It’s a celebration of grit and determination in the face of intractable odds.” \nJon Allen will celebrate the release of ‘Seven Dials’ by hitting the road with his band The Luna Kings: Randall Breneman (guitar)\, Phil Brickell (bass) and Adam Skinner (drums). \nPerforming 16th May at  Cardiff\, Acapela Studio \nTo book tickets visit:  https://acapela.co.uk/events/jon-allen-and-the-luna-kings/

SUMMARY:Rich(ard) Dawson announced news of his return with new album End of the Middle due February 14th
DESCRIPTION:Last month Rich(ard) Dawson announced news of his return with new album End of the Middle due February 14th.\n \nToday\, Dawson is pleased to share the second song from the forthcoming record\, “Boxing Day Sales” – a beautifully wonky pop number that merges Dawson’s deft yet infectious melodies with a pleasing bolt of jagged clarinet from Faye MacCalman (who plays the role of “lightning” throughout the album). It’s also his hugely unorthodox bid for Christmas Number 1.“I wanted to make a pure pop song\,” says Rich. “Almost like a total throwaway song – like a Christmas gift: A pair of novelty socks\, some Lynx Africa\, or a daft plastic puzzle you get on Christmas morning and then chuck in a drawer for the next 10 years. I wanted it to be the most throwaway and lightweight triviality of a thing.” But Dawson also found himself moved by the noble spirit of the character in his song\, lifting it to a place that went beyond disposable gifts\, pop hooks\, and a critique of capitalism. “Even when there isn’t much room for a character to speak you still must go all the way with them”.Watch the video for “Boxing Day Sales” here.\nStream “Boxing Day Sales” here.The video – directed (once again) by James Hankins – features Rich posing in a series of shop windows and famous Central London spots as well as vignettes of eager shoppers going about their day. As Dawson’s final repeated lyrics “You owe it to yourself” ring out\, we are left with a parting image of rubbish being collected.\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\nEnd of the Middle is richly intricate\, evocative\, tactile and almost has the transportive ability to put you in the places and scenarios it describes. Partly inspired by his love of the films of Japanese director Yasujirō Ozu\, the album focuses around a family unit. “It zooms in quite close-up to try and explore a typical middle class English family home\,” Dawson says. “We’re listening to the stories of people from three or four generations of perhaps the same family. But really\, it’s about how we break certain cycles. I think the family is a useful metaphor to examine how things are passed on generationally.” \nAlongside the announcement today\, comes a new UK tour in April including London’s Clapham Grand plus a string of instore shows for February. \nWatch the video for the previously released “Polytunnel” here. \nEnd of the Middle is available to pre-order on Dom-Mart reverse-playing vinyl\, indies-exclusive vinyl (with signed print)\, Dinked-exclusive yellow vinyl (with 7” of 2 bonus tracks)\, standard vinyl\, CD and digitally.
