Meilyr Jones to release debut record 2013 in 2016
Meilyr Jones has announced his debut album 2013, and shared the vid for latest single "How To Recognise A Work Of Art".
Speaking about the record's creation, Jones says: “I conceived of the record as a compilation of myself, over the period of a year. As an anthology, a collection of my songs and of what happened to me in that year.”
The year, as you may have guessed from the title, was 2013, when Jones' "weeks were scored by loss and pleasure and revelation, and when he made a short but transformative trip to Rome, drawn by a fascination with sculpture and Byron and Berlioz."
Talking about the trip to Italy, Jones adds: “I’d go out every day, walking for hours, go to churches, just to see paintings. There was this spirit - that again I’d felt in Byron’s poetry - that was sweet but also really resilient.”
2013 is released by Moshi Moshi on 26 February next year.
