Paul Heaton - Jenius - 2LP Black Vinyl

Paul Heaton - Jenius - 2LP Black Vinyl THIS IS A PRE ORDER: RELEASE DATE: 21st August 2026 Jenius would be a remarkable album at any time, even more for a man who turned 64 this spring. But it’s still more remarkable because it sounds like it was a joy to make but was recorded as his ten-year marriage ended. There is, however, no point seeking clues to this development in its songs because they were begun in the months following The Mighty Several and penned, like so many before them, during cycling breaks in Holland. They were finished there, too, in a village north of Amsterdam, with guitarist Jonny Lexus. Having worked with Heaton since 2010’s Acid Country, this time he earned eight co-writing credits as well as helping arrange other tracks. “It's nice writing songs by yourself,” Heaton says. “…but it's really nice writing them with Jonny.” Label: EMI Cat.
