JOHN have a new 7″ coming out on February 17th.
Johns Newton and Healey have shared the B-side of their upcoming new JOHN single Theme New Bond Junior.
“The title alludes to the contemplative characters of Edward Hopper’s paintings – often locked in thought in a series of dream-like interiors,” Newton explained upon the release of Hopper On The Dial.
“The song functions in a similar manner: a wandering view that mulls over the potential of a future – whether that be the security of an occupation, home or environment.”
“It’s something a little more sprawling and spatial, with a floating pace that builds gradually. It’s an approach that has grown further throughout our releases, and we’re really pleased to be able to still feel like we’re developing as a band after almost a decade on the road.”
“Johnny has an incredible talent for these melodic guitar lines – often appearing as improvisations in-between tracks throughout our live set.”
“We’ve gradually pushed these into the forefront, and I think it’s given us another dynamic ability as a band – which is incredibly pleasing.”
