Begin Again, Again

Description

Inspired by Sparklehorse and Daniel Johnston, J Mahon creates a more uplifting and more accessible “Chamber Pop” soundscape, close to acts like Spiritualized and Sigur Ros, while 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 “real” album feel; a memory that evokes the hours spent in your teenage bed with headphones on, staring at the ceiling and wondering about the future. “Begin Again, Again” features the drums of Callum Brown (Ulrika Spacek), the vocals of Victoria RH and the violin and viola of Clementine Brown (The Penguin Cafe), with all other instruments 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).
