Bill Ryder-Jones has revealed his follow-up to 2015’s glorious West Kirby County Primary is close to completion and will be his last solo record ‘for a while’ with plans afoot to form a new band.
“Very nearly there, I’m quite proud of it,” he said in an update sent out to fans. “Nothing to be scared of in that it’s not all that different. The aim was to make something a bit like the other records, there’s a lot of dynamics and I’ve spent a lot of time working on getting the balance between light and dark.”
“It’ll probably be the last Bill Ryder-Jones record for a while as myself and Liam from By The Sea are going to start a band when this one is put to bed. Other news is that we have a new member to the touring group in Phil Murphy having lost drummer Jack Prince. Needless to say we all wish Jack the best in his new endeavours.”
Ryder-Jones is playing the Wakefield Literature Festival this weekend.
