Begin Again, Again

Description

Inspired by Sparklehorse and Daniel Johnston, J Mahon creates a more uplifting and accessible ‘Chamber Pop’ soundscape, akin to acts like Spiritualized and Sigur Ros, whilst his soulful voice and lyricism evoke otherworldly luminaries like Jeff Buckley, Townes Van Zandt, and Joanna Newsome.In 2023 J Mahon set out to create an album that had a ‘proper’ album feel; a keepsake that evokes the hours spent lying in your teenage bed with headphones on, staring at the ceiling and wondering about the future. ‘Begin Again, Again’ features drumming from Callum Brown (Ulrika Spacek), vocals from Victoria RH, and violin and viola from Clementine Brown (The Penguin Cafe), with all other instrumentation and string arrangements written and performed by Jarrod.Co-produced and mixed with Syd Kemp and mastered by Jason Mitchell (PJ Harvey, XTC, Aldous Harding).
