Joe Armon-Jones of Ezra Collective has announced his new label Aquarii Records, alongside delivering fresh single "Pray", which features a band made up of members of black midi and Nubiyan Twist.

"Pray" is Armon-Jones' first outing since covering The Stranglers' "Golden Brown" back in March, and sees the Ezra Collective pianist team up with black midi's Morgan Simpson (drums) and Nubiyan Twist's Luke Wynter (bass).

The new single is accompanied by news of Armon-Jones' own Aquarii Records label, which he describes as "a home for the music that is around me; somewhere it can live and somewhere it can flourish".

"Pray" will be released physically as a 10" vinyl with an exclusive b-side titled "Nothing Move".

Joe Armon-Jones' "Pray" single is on digital platforms now, and will be released as a 10" vinyl via Aquarii Records on 2 August, which is available to pre-order now.
