James Adrian Brown (formerly of Pulled Apart By Horses) announces debut solo album, Forever Neon Lights
James Adrian Brown, former Pulled Apart By Horses guitarist, has announces his debut solo album, Forever Neon Lights, alongside the release of new single, "Generator".
Forever Neon Lights is inspired by Brown’s formative memories of visiting the Blackpool Illuminations as a child. Those bright lights by the sea became a personal symbol of hope, possibility, and escapism, shaping the creative vision Brown now brings to his solo work.
On the new single, Brown says " 'Generator' is about creating your own momentum and powering through life’s challenges. Just as the illuminations need a generator to shine, we all have to find and build our own energy source to keep moving forward. For me, it’s about resilience, staying true to your dreams, and making them real.”
Speaking about making the record, Brown says: “This album is me laying everything out, the things I’ve carried since being a child, the hopes, dreams, and doubts I’ve felt as an adult, and the stubbornness to see things through. Writing and recording it felt like reconnecting with that wide-eyed version of myself who thought the lights back in Blackpool wrapped right around the entire country every Christmas and went on forever. It’s about taking that feeling and turning it into something lasting and real.”
Brown will be touring the UK and Ireland throughout November, with stops in Liverpool, London, Cardiff, Leeds, Manchester, Belfast, Dublin, and more.
