∫ "Bristol-based songwriter and guitarist Jim Johnston's debut solo album, 'Voyage of Oblivion' is a thirteen song collection of darkly mysterious, all-encompassing guitar-driven tracks recorded live in a day (with additional overdubs over four days).
The singer-guitarist's impressive premiere is an Indie rock epic, entwined with tales of love, darkness and resurrection. 'Voyage of Oblivion' sounds immediately modern, yet encapsulates vintage, classic rock & Indie sounds of the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's."
∫ "Unique and engaging, evokes Hunky Dory era Bowie as well as unsettling late 60's psych there's some eerie Barrett era Floyd moments....reminiscent of Magazine too, but Magazine at their darkest"
- Bugbear
∫ "Accomplished alt/indie rock.....We need more of this for our air waves, Radios 2 and 6 Music please take note and check this out!"
- Terrascope
≡ Debut solo release from the former Monk and Canatella songwriter and guitarist.
≡ An Indie/Rock epic entwined with tales of love, darkness & resurrection. Think Syd Barrett meets Jimi Hendrix & The Smiths.
≡ Produced by Johnston & French Canadian producer Martin Dupras, Voyage of Oblivion was recorded live in a day, with additional overdubs over four days. At just under an hour in length, it encapsulates the vintage classic Rock & Indie sounds of the 1960's, 70's & 80's that Johnston grew up listening to.
The album features all-powerful musicianship from Dupras on bass guitar, Chris Thomas on drums, and Owain Coleman on keyboards, with guitars and vocals provided by Johnston.
≡ The album also features guest vocals from Australian folk troubadour Emily Barker from Emily Barker and the Red Clay Halo, and introduces 10-year-old Isobel Sutton on vocals for the opening and closing tracks.
