about

JOHN return with a brand new single 'Trauma Mosaic', as well as the news that the band will make their North American live debut this October with a run of dates that take them all across the continent.

'Trauma Mosaic' follows on from the band's recent 'Theme New Bond Junior' b/w 'Hopper on the Dial' single which reached #1 on the UK vinyl singles chart last month as well as seeing 'Theme New Bond Junior' playlisted at BBC 6Music and KEXP.

Recorded by Tom Hill at The Bookhouse in South London, mixed by Seth Manchester (METZ, Big Brave, Battles) and mastered by Frank Arkwright (Arab Strap, Squarepusher, Autechre), 'Trauma Mosaic' continues the band's subtle evolution in recent years as they continue to redefine and expand the parameters of what a guitar and drums two-piece can be. Driven forward by a crushed drum sample that began as a playful experiment, it finds Newton layering his vocals in an almost chant-like manner before cyclical guitars erupt in classic JOHN fashion and we're reminded of the primal power the pair possess.

"We like to think the back catalogue really shows how the project has evolved and expanded over the many years/releases," says Newton. "'Trauma Mosaic' feels like a real testament to the ongoing journey, proving that there’s plenty of exploration even within our inherent limitations as a duo. It’s actually become our strength - helping simplify the decision making process, whilst further defining what JOHN is - in a unique sense.”
