Everyone’s favourite poster-boy for nu-folk is back and better than ever with the announcement of his new album ‘Been Listening’, released through Transgressive Records on June 7th (which on another note, is coincidentally the date I’m hosting The Miserable Rich at Norwich Puppet Theatre, do come to that if you’re Norfolk-based and about).
The new album consists of 11 tracks, and if you’ve seen Johnny live or had a listen to any of his homemade demos on MySpace over the past year, you’ll know a few of them already. Excitingly, ‘The Water’ now features guest vocals from the lovely Laura Marling.
The tracklisting is as follows:
1. Kentucky Pill
2. Lost and Found
3. Churlish May
4. Been Listening
5. Barnacled Warship
6. Sweet William Part Two
7. The Water (duet with Laura Marling)
8. Howl
9. Agnes
10. Amazon Love
11. The Prizefighter and The Heiress
