CMU Approved

Approved: Johnny Flynn

By | Published on Wednesday 14 April 2010

British folk artist Johnny Flynn released his debut album ‘A Larum’ back in 2008, and although we had the delights of last year’s ‘Sweet William’ EP, it’s good to hear he’s now finished plugging away at his follow-up album ‘Been Listening’.

Set for release on 7 Jun through Transgressive Records, the album was produced by Ryan Hadlock (who also worked on ‘A Larum’) and recorded with Johnny’s band The Sussex Wit in London and Seattle. The album also features collaborations with his pals Laura Marling and Anna Calvi.

As a teaser, album track ‘Kentucky Pill’ has been made available as a free download; which seems like a perfect introduction to the new record and starts off sounding like the theme to a Western, brilliant. Currently on tour in Europe with Mumford & Sons, Johnny returns in May to tour the UK.
