Go To Sleep When Youre Sad

Over-polite is a song which tackles the overlooked perception that everyone is ok. We are never aware of others internal goings-on, so I wanted to make a song about how ignorance can lead to drastic things. 

This song was written over the pandemic time and recorded early 2022.

Around the Mind

Over-polite

oagh

what's it like to have a body?
what's it like to have a mind?




I am the Fungus ( demo)

Sister Envy hail from the North Wales coast, a place of mystery, harshness, and beauty, a place where opportunity is blocked for younger people yet dreams can break through. It’s here that Sister Envy met at college.

Their first single 'Mourning Sickness' released on all streaming platforms on the 23rd of February eases you into their world. Woozy psychedelic-tinged guitars and enveloping vocals that detail the bleary moments after you wake. North Walian singer-songwriter Kameron Jolliffe vividly captures the wistful memories of growing up. With his infectious vocals burrowing their way into your head. Possessing a carousel of percussion, a tapestry of beguiling rock sound, that takes influence from the sounds of the 60s and 70s but also the early 90s indie and gaze scene of bands like, My Bloody Valentine, Ride and Spiritualized.

Kameron Jolliffe says of the bands debut single; “Mourning Sickness was the first song I ever wrote when I was 16, and it feels like it makes sense for it to be released first, almost like an ode to my past self and what was happening in my life at that time.“


Their initial three singles were recorded in Liverpool at the famous Motor Museum Studio with Ben Harper. Mixed in France by Welsh legend Owain Ginsberg and mastered in Austin Texas by American producer Erik Wofford (The Black Angels). Over the next twelve months, Sister Envy will invite you into their fascinating world over a series of singles releases and shows including a debut performance at Focus Wales in May 2023. Gradually revealing the different faces of their tapestry of sound and fledgling experience.

Sad Town - Josh Jones

I’m Adam Walton. I grew up in Mold in north Wales. I’ve been obsessed with making music since I heard a schoolmate, Graham Devine, playing classical guitar at a Welsh language training camp when I was 11. Graham is now a world-renowned classical guitarist, whereas I talk too much while celebrating other people’s music on the radio (BBC Introducing in Wales).

The band I sing and play guitar for - The Immediate - reformed after a long hiatus in 2016, and have since released two albums that earned airplay on various stations worldwide, including 6Music and BBC Radio Wales. We've played some great gigs with the likes of The Darling Buds, The Blockheads, Kidsmoke and Campfire Social, but not nearly enough gigs because Big Important Life (my bandmates' families and their proper, demanding jobs) make rehearsal and travel difficult. 

The problem with twiddling my thumbs and fingers at home, however, is that songs fall out. Lots of songs. And some of those songs have grown into this album.

Love, Death & In Between, then, has been shaped by my wanting to do something regardless of who else is available: a have-guitar, will-travel philosophy, with a set of songs written specifically to be played solo.

I re-read Viv Albertine’s brilliant memoir, Clothes Clothes Clothes Music Music Music Boys Boys Boys, over the summer. It’s such a motivational story, uncompromisingly and brilliantly told. Viv’s commitment to re-learning the guitar and writing songs, and her determination in taking those songs out to open mic nights, away from home and out of her comfort zone, is particularly inspirational.

That's my plan, then, for this set of songs: a cheery selection inspired by grief and despair, and finding joy in the rain, or in music, or in the arms of the person you love while the world goes to pot outside.

The approach for Love, Death & In Between was really simple: one man, one guitar, one voice, no overdubs, and recorded at home, in mono. Not as Luddite affectations, but because I wanted to keep it as simple and direct as possible.

I hope you like these songs. I’m too old and grumpy to pretend otherwise, and I want to take them out of the house as often as possible, away from clearing up continuously after my kamikaze kittens.

Thank you for your time.
