   About denis jones


Denis Jones "17" (2nd Cut) from John Corrin on Vimeo.











"The debut album from Manchester's Denis Jones arrives after the man's grafted and pulled himself all over the place perfecting his working man blues. Comparisons with John Martyn, (arguably) the pioneer of the British blues-folk-rock tradition are not without warrant, while the no fear attitude of Tunng or Psapp in the use of electronics and sequencers makes for a surprising dovetail. Comes in some of the most unique packaging we've ever seen. Fold-out plastic case with fabric inner and individually etched number of only 500.this week's thoughts...Hi,Your attention is needed for a new folk hero in the form of Manchester's Denis Jones. Drawing comparisons with the likes of John Martyn and Tunng this is set to have A&R hounds frothing at the mouth, so get on this early. Oh and the packaging is just wonderful too!!"


Darryl_Piccadilly Records



"There’s something about his willingness to experiment, his bravery and risk-taking that makes him stand slightly aside from the now dissolving world of folktronica, this music is left of centre and quite happily so – if Denis wants to make noise he will do, and if he wants to make your heart weep then that’s okay too. It’s nice to hear a new generation of artists taking on so many different influences at the moment – I guess we can say that’s the power of the internet? Maybe file sharing does have its place in the music scene eh? ‘Humdrum Virtue’ is a mighty promising start from an artist who we should be seeing a lot more from in future…"

Boomkat.com


"The sparest of slap basslines from Sly Stone-vintage funk pulsed underneath and a smattering of beatboxing (his own) draped over the top........logical, eardrum-massaging, heart-stirring sonic harmony"

Emily Moore_Drowned In Sound



"Lancashire born Denis Jones is a 24 year old self-taught guitarist, who plays a uniquely textured blend of rhythmical future-folk. Denis draws inspiration from a wide range of traditional, song-based music, inventively blending these influences with modest experimental electronics. Whilst striving to maintain a song writing philosophy that generates a pure emotional response, Denis never overcomplicates this process and, even with the technical appeal of the live performance, he remains true to the initial drive of emotive creativity. Comparisons have been drawn with One World era John Martin mixed with Tunng and re-assembled through a Basic Channel filter. In recent years Denis has played regularly around the country, including current support slots for Coco Rosie, Efterklang, Damo Suzuki (Can,) Braken, Viking Moses, James Yorkston, Ella Guru, Steve Tilston, Bone Box, Brightblack Morning Light, Okkervil River, Merz, Jack Rose and Chris Corsano."

Mark ward_Piccadilly Records



"Denis Jones is at ease as he casually creates a myriad of sounds with his trusty loop pedal. This is the modern day equivalent of a one man band, without the cumbersome inconvenience of a big drum on your back, he even throws in a touch of beat boxing just to mix things up a bit. At grass roots though this is a beautiful, heartfelt acoustic offering with vocals that contain an urgency and sincerity that are utterly compelling."

Hellen Jones_XFM OnLine



"Denis Jones is a different breed of showman. No costumes. No guitar heroics. No vocal gymnastics. Just a craftsman at work, forging pieces of robust delicacy, labours that absorb him and absorb the audience...........Unassuming genius in action."

Pops_www.oppositiont.co.uk



"Jones shows the same sort of lyrical intelligence, musical cleverness and playfulness Malkmus brought to Pavement and his solo efforts."

Norman Miller_Bearded Magazine



"scuzzy Mancunian blues at it's richest and, most intriguing."

Laura Barton_the Guardian

She has also been involved in collaborative releases, contributing a track to Xiu Xiu’s Remixed & Covered and four tracks to a split release with Inca Ore.

Trespassers William (Seattle, US) are the duo of Matt Brown and Anna-Lynne Williams. "Subliminally sublime and pragmatically perfect, you would have to possess an ashtray for a heart not to feel this coursing through your soul" (DSD Music Magazine). A new EP, The Natural Order of Things, is set to be released on Gizeh Records. They will make a church performance with special guests.

Glissando (Sheffield, UK) “have the kind of atmosphere that can captivate and relax in equal measure- never before has tranquillity sounded so urgent. While track lengths of over 10 minutes may fail to hold the attention of the ADHD sufferers among us, with patience it plays like a majestic dream. And it's one you'll never want to wake up from." NME

Operations (Chris Anderson) is a Manchester based conceptual music producer and sound artist. He performs and records with an array of analog synths and effects, reel-to-reel tape and casette players, and guitars. Followers of Tim Hecker, Slowdive, Fennesz, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Stephen O'Malley, Type and 12K Records will surely nod in approval.

Hey there Denis, my names Karl  :)
Just wanted to stop by and tell you that i love your music and 'Humdrum Virtue' is an absolutly amazing album!
Have you confirmed to play this 'Love Music Hate Racism' gig that George and many others are organizing? I've been to see you a couple of times now.. you've actually played with my band (SAY) a few times now.. you're so interesting live... i'd love to see you play again sometime soon. I set up the myspace page for the LMHR gig the other day and i've just put you as 'TBC'.. do you know if you'll be able to do it yet?

Lots of love
Karl

Who is organizing? I could try to find some gig for us in those days... you could see Fused live, too...
Hope everything is well, even if not pleasant, we all know how to turn dirty into clean, right?
We'll have a first official self-made music video presentation next week, which makes me incredibly excited. I'll attach a poster, but not for promotional purposes, it should be an intrigue...
Ciao!
