Reviews for Chasing Tales EP

'delicious, laid-back piece of blues inspired, folk-tinged Americana that slides effortlessly from soft expectation to hard-edged understanding.  There’s a great deal to Jo and her music. This EP, although really only a taster, serves to showcase an exceptional talent. This lady can craft a tune, no doubt about it. ' - Folkwords

'Unorthodox, uncompromising, simply brilliant..purely on the evidence of this latest EP, Jo is an absolutely extraordinary talent - as singer, a darned accomplished stylist with an unusual voice, and as a guitarist pretty phenomenal too' - FATEA 
 
‘..an excellent musician and most engaging performer...this EP showcases Jo’s emergence as a fine finger-picker and slide player who is capable of building a great deal of drama and soulful expression into her arrangements. It is a fine recording which most certainly leaves you wanting more’ - Liverpool Acoustic

'an ear for the rhythmic and an ability to place words in such a way that the guitar is more than an instrument to her, it is more like a confidant, a co-conspirator in her music and Chasing Tales once exemplifies this confident and genuinely very cool woman’s ability.' - Liverpool Sound & Vision
 
'Jo Bywater seems to flit very comfortably between Nick Drake-esque pastoral, Polly Harvey’s gritty blues and the odd shade of Nirvana Unplugged – Americana UK

Declan Bennett is a British singer-songwriter who writes candid, hard-hitting, pop music. Possessing a witty and poetic way with words, unique take on life and unashamed and honest tales of life, love and sexuality, Declan has won a diverse and devoted fan base around the UK, across the US and beyond...

After releasing his sophomore record 'An Innocent Evening of Drinking' Declan had gone on to write a handful of new songs, waiting to be recorded and put on a new album he knew would be called 'record:BREAKUP'. Declan had been performing alongside Billie Joe Armstrong in Tony/Grammy award winning ‘American Idiot’ on Broadway and post show, gigging across New York, continually pushing the hours in a day to find an audience for his music. Billie Joe unexpectedly turned up at one of Declan’s late night gigs and was so moved by his new work, he stepped in to finance the recording of the album demo.

The finished version of the album was recorded in New York City with a band of his closest friends and produced by Declan himself. The new album tackles familiar themes of heartbreak and infidelity in a collection of 12 songs, designed to be heard in sequence, charting the journey through the final weeks of a relationship.
