Joe Banfi has announced details of his brand new EP 'Nomads'. Set for release on 4th March via Communion Records, 'Nomads' is the follow up to Joe's debut EP 'Iron' which came out last year. Again produced by Ian Grimble, 'Nomads' sees Joe Banfi heading towards a fuller realisation of his influences. You can listen to the title track 'Nomads' on soundcloud below.
Joe Banfi is a boy with a guitar but he’s more than just a lonesome acoustic troubadour. He’s not just a singer-songwriter, either, nor is he simply a musician with a voice. Here is someone whose intention it is to have his name embody a whole series of sounds and instruments, to signify an ethos, an aesthetic. To represent the idea of the solo artist as something more.
For some sense of what Joe Banfi - a 23-year-old from Northwich, a small commuter town outside of Manchester - is about, imagine Kurt Cobain if he had gone out on his own before Bleach or after Nirvana and hooked up with a producer up to the task of providing a wide-ranging palette of atmospheres and effects. One minute he’s singing in a whispering falsetto over sparse backing, the next he’s rasping and roaring over a wall of incendiary noise. The impression given is of a young man capable of anything.
Joe will tour the UK in February, supporting fellow Communion artist Bear's Den, before heading out on a handful of solo UK dates in March.
