JR GREEN’s debut EP has grown from childhood introductions to the likes of Steeleye Span- but after the then aged 7 and 9 brothers’ move to Strontian, a remote Scottish village a few miles from the most westerly point on mainland Britain, it was the sweaty floored Ceilidh life and teenage introduction to The Strokes and The Libertines that has just ten years later, made for, in their words, a “Low-fi traditional skronk” sound.

“Bring The Witch Doctor” was recorded at The Diving Bell Lounge in the east end of Glasgow by Marcus Mackay (Snow Patrol, Frightened Rabbit, Kathryn Joseph, Alasdair Roberts) and Joe McAlinden (Superstar, _Linden, E.D.I.T.).

Launch label Hits the Fan Records, home to Frightened Rabbit’s much loved debut “Sing the Greys” (2006) and Kathryn Joseph’s SAY Award winning album (“bones you have thrown me and blood I’ve spilled” (2015)) will be making JR Green’s, “Bring The Witch Doctor” their 3rd release. It will be available on CD and download.

Kathryn Joseph released her debut album “bones you have thrown me and blood I’ve spilled” in January 2015; what started as an album “kickstarted” by dedicated fans has quietly and organically become a much loved, critically acclaimed album of 2015 – and in June – became the winner of Scottish Album of the Year (the longlist included Young Fathers, Belle & Sebastian, Mogwai and Paulo Nutini) 

Prior to her debut release – Kathryn Joseph was regarded one of Scotland's best-kept secrets; prodigiously talented and criminally underrated her voice possesses the other-worldly quality comparable to Ms Newsom and Björk; but she is by no means of an ilk. Better compared with Anthony Heggarty; she is an artist in every way; unique and soulful, and at the core a beautiful unnerving truth.

LOST LEFT - Thank You For The Lung

Originally home to Frightened Rabbit; Hits the Fan was the platform from which they launched their critically acclaimed and  much loved debut "Sing the Greys" before they got signed onto Fat Cat Records (where it was re-released) and more recently to Atlantic with whom they celebrated a top 10 album in 2013.  

After a 7 year itch away from the the music industry, Claire has embarked on a re-opening of  Hits the Fan Records doors (with the support of FR and Marcus) in order to release the long awaited debut from Kathryn Joseph "bones you have thrown me and blood I've spilled" which won the Scottish Album of the Year award 2015.
