Young Jesus

The Fool

£31.99

Released: 24th May 2024. John Rossiter had quit music to study permaculture and to work in landscapes and gardens. His last album, 'Shepherd Head' (2022), was too much time spent on the computer. Working with soil and plants gave him some life back. He said, 'You know, when gardening, the right decision to make for the landscape is usually the one that is already happening. It just takes time to read what that is'. So, John left the orchard to meet Shahzad Ismaily (Feist, Lou Reed, Arooj Aftab) for lunch. They instantly bonded, talking about improvisation, rhythm, the heart. On a lark, Shahzad invited John to New York. Songs started to form, songs about shame and grief, love and redemption. They came fast, a song a day for two weeks. It was different from past albums, which felt like years of hammering out lyrics and ideas. This one came in the wake of a long illness, where tunes came in a rush, as if they were physical, as if the body couldn't heal without them. An almost involuntary outpouring, overrunning his usual self-consciousness.
