JOHN by Paul Grace
John are following 2021’s Nocturnal Manoeuvres album.
JOHN have premiered their new single Theme New Bond Junior today and prepped it for release in the January of next year.
“The arts function as a mirror of our wider culture, and it’s been interesting to see how the acceleration of the present affects most aspects of our lives – including the production of art and music,” John Newton said.
“The track was a gestation on the speed of consumption: this includes both the constant update/obsolescence of physical products and their resulting affect on the human attention span.”
“Recently, it’s been concerning to see individuals – who have been pillars of creative action – questioning their ability to continue their jobs (and passions). Especially amongst the, quite frankly ridiculous, calls to ‘retrain’.”
“I felt like the track helped us to keep our own momentum, continuing to stay positive and move forward despite the challenging scenery around us. With this in mind, it felt like the perfect track to act as a call-to-arms, introducing a new chapter as the first glimpse of a barrage of new stuff we’ve been focusing on.”
