Faithful Johannes

Hey hey hey – new single TV Raised Me is out on the streams and Bandcamp today. It’s the second single off of mine and Neocia’s forthcoming album The House at Night.
About the mal-nurturing power of television and the video gamification of the first Gulf War.

You can give it a listen https://winbigrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-house-at-night or https://song.link/gb/i/1756338223

I’ve been a bit tardy in posting about this on my website. But me and Neocia are putting out our new album The House at Night on October 11th 2024.

It’s a nostalgic fever dream about childhood, parenting and television – pre-order your black vinyl via https://butterflyeffect1.bandcamp.com/ and CDs via https://winbigrecords.bandcamp.com/ and get first single Marigolds today… there’s a also a beautiful lyric zine option.

Album pre-order is coming next week!

I did a long form interview with No Frills a few weeks back. Talked about Do The Bartman and other stuff. Have a read here-  https://nofrillsreviews.com/2024/03/24/artists-choice-faithful-johannes/

Hey, so I’ve submitted loads of tracks to the Fresh on Net site, set up by Tom Robinson, as it’s a route to get on his BBC 6 Music introducing playlist…. Tom’s been kind enough to pick my songs quite a few times now, but I’ve never been that successful in the popular vote that leads to the separate Fresh Faves playlist…. until now! Mine and Neocia’s Ultra Deep is on the list this week, with a lovely write up from Tony Hardy here https://freshonthenet.co.uk/2024/03/faves523/ – “It is set to a leisurely beat supported by keyboards and embroidered by a sweet and gentle melody. The words are something else as the artiste effortlessly blends cosmic references with everyday observations. They really transport you to his child’s vision of the universe and how it all changed after NASA’s release of the Ultra Deep Field image, a tiny speck in the sky containing 10,000 galaxies. Simply magical.”

Delighted that mine and Jon’s tune Ultra Deep is on the latest Postcards from the Underground mixtape – listen to the whole thing here while you steer your way through your day https://postcardsfromtheunderground.com/shows/pftu-24324

Hey. So. Tom Robinson picked mine and Neocia’s collaboration Ultra Deep for this week’s BBC 6 Music Mixtape. You can listen to the whole mix here – https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001xdy2 we are on at about 40 mins. Tom gets sent 200 songs a week, so we’re very grateful to have made it into the 60 minutes – “the unmistakable tones of Durham City’s poet laureate Faithful Johannes”.

Me and John went to The Studio in Hartlepool (those iconic windows) and recorded this video last month. It was filmed by Michael Kitching who does drums in Benefits and Onlooker. Hope you like it. Subscribe to the youtube channel here to get more content sooon.

Mine and Neocia’s new song Ultra Deep is out everywhere today. If you get three minutes to listen we’d be really grateful.

Here’s a link to places you might listen https://linktr.ee/fjxn

Ultra Deep – standalone single and the first Faithful Johannes and Neocia collaborative release is out on 1st March 2024.

A child’s obsession with the cosmos is later shattered by NASA’s 2008 release of an Ultra Deep Field image, a tiny speck in the sky containing 10,000 galaxies. It’s all hugely overwhelming.

Digital pre-save link is here https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/faithfuljohannes/ultra-deep and it’ll be up on my bandcamp here https://faithfuljohannes.bandcamp.com/music , probably a little before official release.

If you’re in the North East of England, we have the following shows coming up – it’d be great to see you:

March 8th at The Cumby in Newcastle
April 5th at Pop Recs in Sunderland
May 16th at Cobalt in Newcastle
