Popis:
Jon Gomm, the UK based acoustic guitar virtuoso, finds new emotional depths in immense melodic pop landscapes, with his ‘The Faintest Idea’.
As one of the pioneers of the modern fingerstyle sound, Jon Gomm has a rare gift for turning one instrument into what feels like an entire orchestra. The singer-songwriter’s 2003 home-recorded debut, ‘Hypertension’, was nothing short of a musical revelation. Things changed for Jon when landmark single ‘Passionflower’ racked up millions of views on YouTube & other media platforms in 2012 – with British legend Stephen Fry describing him on mainstream television as someone “playing the guitar in a way I’d never seen it played before” & “an all-round genius”.
The Faintest Idea’s title is based on the notion that all of us, to some extent, are just The Faintest Idea, “It’s an enigmatic title,” says Gomm. “There’s a fine line between a metaphor & a pun, so I guess it dances on that” & explores the contrasts between the warmth of Gomm’s acoustic articulation with more icy affairs, thanks to the synth parts & production work from Australian musician Andy Sorenson, together they have created a contemporary masterpiece.
The Faintest Idea’s immersive & emotional 11 tracks see a musician coming to terms with the talents that got him recognised & choosing to evolve into the unexpected. This album just boils down to the magic of one man with his guitar & voice. And what a powerful magic it is.
The album is complemented by the delicate hand drawn pen and ink cover art created by Lee Zimmerman.
