Description

Will Varley is pleased to announce details of his 5th studio album, Spirit Of Minnie, released February 9, 2018 through Xtra Mile Recordings. Following 2016s much praised Kingsdown Sundown and a sold out show at Londons Union Chapel, the new album marks a distinct change of direction for the singer songwriter, being the first time he has recorded with a full backing band.

Produced by Cameron McVey (Massive Attack, Portishead, Neneh Cherry), the new album expands on the pared back musical palette of Varleys previous sound, all the while retaining his gift for painterly, affirming and immediate lyric writing. Aided by McVeys nuanced, widescreen production and the warm cascading sound of his new band, All Those Stars offers the perfect first glimpse into Spirit Of Minnie, straddling Wills sound and style from past to present. Counting the likes of Billy Bragg, Valerie June and Frank Turner as his fans, and with tours scheduled across Europe and America, the young songwriter from Deal seems poised for a huge 2018.

For fans of: Billy Bragg, Frank Turner, Passenger, The Proclaimers
