A song reminiscing on making and playing music with friends in an Indie band in the 90's while studying Fine Art. This album is reunion of myself with the drummer from that band, to make new music as Jarinoe.

Jarinoe is the project name of Bristol based singer, songwriter and musician, Paul Ayers. ‘The Wanderer’ is his debut album, recorded at Ty Drwg studio in Cardiff with Frank Naughton as engineer, co-producer and bass player. Drums and additional vocals come from Cardiff-based multi-instrumentalist Andy Fung (Derrero, Cymbient, No Thee No Ess). Ayers and Fung met in the early 90s at Art college in Falmouth, Cornwall, forming an Indie band whilst studying Fine Art.

The Wanderer’s indie folk/alternative rock fusions layer tremolo reverb guitars over acoustic rhythms, sometimes with ethereal keys from Naughton’s Rhodes Piano put through ‘Teaching Machines’ beautiful ‘Wellspring’ analogue spring reverb system (designed by Naughton).

The Wanderer - “I feel like I'm somewhere in late 1968. It's the end of summer. The autumn's coming. It's sad. But everything will be okay. The wine will pour again. The haze will appear amid the branches. High windows will glint with evening promise...” (Chris Hope – Lost Sound Club).

Flowers At My Feet

Written at the end of August as the long summer holidays were ending and the next annual cycle of work was about to begin. Longing for the summer to return again, but accepting the challenge of the hard work to come.
