Ex-Bluebottle Kiss frontman Jamie Hutchings is streaming his new album Avalon Tapes a month ahead of its release, and it’s pretty great.

This record finds him a lot looser and rougher than his last, with some killer songs - personally, i’m digging Smokey Dawson (which was previewed when he came into Radiant last year) and Ways to Fall. The closer is great too, reminds me of Slim Slow Slider in the best possible way.

Anyway, check it out. It’ll be out properly in April, with a launch at Notes on April 23.
