Jeremy Warmsley, your friend and mine, dropped us a line about his new internet TV show, called, “Jeremy Warmsley’s New Thing”. His original show, WTOTS is on hiatus for a little while… so you’ll have to make do with this…

This first episode features Mechanical Bride, Jay Jay Pistolet and Peggy Sue, and was filmed on a light-up dance floor at the Electricity Showrooms in London.

J.Warmsley’s New Thing 1: Mechanical Bride/JJ Pistolet/Peggy Sue

Much was made of Jeremey Warmsley’s first outing ‘The Art of Fiction’, and justly so. Warmsley came across as a fresh face with some wonderful melodies and harmonies to share, building layers upon layers to make his highly crafted electronic-pop.  If there was a hint of pretension or  pomposity at  times, it could be given as youthful over eagerness.

So let’s move on…

Our girl out in “The Valleys” Amy Pay caught up with Warmsley at a recent show in Cardiff. She had the 20Q’s printed out in her pocket and thought “why the hell not!”. Warmsley graciously accepted. Incidentally, his new album How We Became is out on Monday (29th September) via Transgressive Records. Continue Reading

Jude Clarke has a long, fairly analytical phone conversation with folky-electronica wizz kid and all round nice chap Jeremy Warmsley, covering the new album, the benefits of a Cambridge education and whether it’s better making music for yourself or your audience.

Hello Jeremy I’ve just got a few questions to ask you, so thank you for giving us the time for the interview.
Of course.

How did your Transgressive tour go? That’s just finished now, has it?
Yeah, oh - it was brilliant, it was so much fun. All the bands on the tour were just super-talented and really nice and it was great to make some new friends and play a bunch of shows. Things couldn’t have gone better, really. Continue Reading
