The
album was written over the course of Cinelli’s extensive tour in 2013 and 2014
playing throughout the UK, US and his native Italy. The people and places of
that tour, from the Strait of Messina to England’s North East are all present
throughout these ten songs, as is much of the listening material from the tour,
from T Bone Burnett records to the mesmerising Sahara Blues. The album was
recorded in his London studio, enlisting the help of his live band Laurence
Saywood on bass guitar and Drew Manley on drums.
Following
his previous record with Morrissey and Coldplay producer Danton Supple, Franc
took the step of recording and producing his own music at his London studio
where he also continues to produce a crop of new talent.
The
extensive 12-month tour promoting his last record I Have Not Yet Begun To Fight, which gave birth to this new album,
saw him playing shows across UK, Europe and North America. Including sold out
shows in New York and London, along with a televised performance at the Blue
Note in Milan and two shows at the Royal Albert Hall. He’s gathered support
from BBC Radio 2 to WFUV in New York and everywhere in between.
Franc
will be playing a special launch show for The Marvel Age on Wednesday 23
September at Servant Jazz Quarters, Dalston, London N16. Tickets
