Jinnwoo
No one sounds quite like Jinnwoo. When the Leicester-born artist (aka Ben Webb) first debuted his curious and spellbindingly beautiful music via his debut Your Baby EP in 2016 (Cargo Records), the late Andy Gill of The Independent succinctly described him as "a singular folk talent," with his debut album, 2016's 'Strangers Bring Me No Light' (Cargo Records/GF*M Records), being equally as critically-acclaimed. Jinnwoo now returns with his follow-up album dreamcreatures. set for release on 3rd September following his signing by Brit and Mercury winning producer Charlie Andrew (Alt J, London Grammar) to his label Square Leg Records, with Charlie also mixing the album. Charlie Andrew describes the record as "a beautiful body of work" and says of the signing "When Jinnwoo reached out and showed me his new album I was instantly smitten. His incredibly unique voice sucked me in straight away and before long I was on a journey through some of the most gorgeous and curious songs I'd heard for a very long time." dreamcreatures. was written within the two months of the release of his debut album in 2016. It captures that point in life where one realises they are no younger young and explores what Jinnwoo describes as: "A weird mix of nostalgia, regret and looming responsibility. It's a lot about old relationships, in particular the relationships that can exist between men; friendship, brotherhood, love, jealousy and sex." dreamcreatures. is a most beautiful return for Jinnwoo. Capturing a bittersweet moment in time that wraps us all in painful nostalgia, where doubt, regret and anxiety rear their ugly heads but our world-weary experiences make us more able to process such emotions., albeit with a newfound cynicism and sadness. Jinnwoo encapsulates this perfectly in dreamcreatures. which is the sound of an already singular artist literally and musically maturing in front of our eyes. The songs on dreamcreatures. were written and recorded by Jinnwoo, and produced and mixed by Tom Pryor in Studio 95, Brighton with additional mixing from Charlie Andrew (Alt-J, London Grammar). "Jinnwoo is the most singular new folk talent I've heard in some time." - Independent "Jinnwoo's gothic folk-croak is a confessional reel unspooling from his innards." - The Guardian "A rising talent in the folk world, Jinnwoo has been setting hearts ablaze." - The Line of Best Fit "Jinnwoo is a true original." - Clash
