CMU Approved
Approved: Denis Jones
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 24 August 2010
Denis Jones released his debut album, ‘Humdrum Virtue’, in 2007. Although often using loops created with a bank of equipment and the occasional guest musician, the focus of the songs was nonetheless Jones’ distinct guitar-playing style and piercingly soulful voice, maintaining a very intimate feel, however much layering was added. Tracks like ‘£10 Of Electricity’, ‘Four Water and ’17’ really marked him out as someone special.
Three and a half years later Jones is back with album number two, ‘Red + Yellow =’, which is due for release in October. The songs remain in very much the same style as his debut, though this is no bad thing – he always leaves you wanting more, letting neither album stretch beyond eight tracks and ensuring the quality is kept high throughout. You can hear the album in full via Jones’ website now.
