RECENT INTERVIEWS…

Stylusboy — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:43:13 +0000

I have been interviewed by three blogs recently which have been really interesting to complete. GOLD FLAKE PAINT interviewed myself and Rachel at our sell out Warwick Arts Centre gig. This is a lovely interview and possibly one of the most in depth I have done. I talk about song inspiration and working collaboratively with Rachel on an album. Read the Interview HERE. HEADPHONAUGHT’S NANOBLOG have featured me in their ‘Seven Questions’ section. They say some very kind things about my music including:

“It has a roundness that is wonderful… a completeness that makes me scratch my head in wonder – how can Noah and the Whale be out in the mainstream and these guys aren’t. The music industry doesn’t make any sense sometimes.“

Read the interview HERE. Finally EMILY COXHEAD has posted an interview titled ‘Meet: Stylusboy. You can read that interview HERE.

RECENT PRESS FEATURES AND REVIEWS…

Stylusboy — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 14:14:37 +0000

I have also been interviewed three times recently, REDWOOD PHOTOGRAPHY talked to me at my recent Warwick Arts Centre show, the wonderful HEADPHONAUGHT NANOLOG have featured me in their Seven Questions feature and finally I have talked to my lovely record label LAZY ACRE RECORDS about house shows.

Also couple of reviews of the Warwick Arts Centre gig have also been published from ALT SOUNDS and COUNTERACT MAGAZINE who said:

“The charm of this live gig was the accomplished vocal harmonies of Jones and Grisedale which rang out over Jones’s simple guitar accompaniment.”

Finally I have also recently picked up a couple of lovely reviews of FOUR WALLS, my live house show album. The first from THE SPOON PLAYER which you can read HERE. The second coming from GLASGOW PODCART who said:

“The production isn’t really the important part of this album though, that would be the songs. Without exception they are very good. Jones manages to eke out lots of emotion from his words, through both his voice and his lyrics. He has a good, solid voice that can sit low and tug the heartstrings or soar to heights that take you with him. is accompanying guitar work is also excellent.”
