As one of the pioneers of the modern fingerstyle sound, however, Jon Gomm has a rare gift for turning one instrument into what feels like an entire orchestra... \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Blackpool-born singer-songwriter's 2003 home-recorded debut, 'Hypertension', was nothing short of a musical revelation: drumming beats, tapping chords \u0026amp; striking harmonics on his acoustic underneath that warm, soulful voice. Things changed for Jon when landmark single 'Passionflower' racked up millions of views on YouTube and other media platforms in 2012 \\u2013 with British legend Stephen Fry describing him on mainstream television as someone 'playing the guitar in a way I'd never seen it played before' and 'an all-round genius'. Follow up album 'Secrets Nobody Keeps' arrived in 2013, further cementing his stature as one of the driving forces behind an acoustic revolution \\u2013 but now, having signed a label deal for the very first time in his career, he's managed to truly refine the pop sensibilities and emotive expression within that unmistakable wall of sound. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Faintest Idea's title is based on the notion that all of us, to some extent, are just 'The Faintest Idea', 'It's an enigmatic title,' smiles Gomm. 'There's a fine line between a metaphor and a pun, so I guess it dances on that' and explores the contrasts between the warmth of Gomm's acoustic articulation with more icy affairs, thanks to the synth parts and production work from Australian musician Andy Sorenson, together they have created a contemporary masterpiece. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e Often cited as one of the most naturally gifted acoustic artists of the modern age, Gomm drew inspiration from his own experiences over the last few years. And while there have been moments of joyous celebration, by his own admission there has also been plenty of personal upheaval: 'This album has been a long time coming,' he reflects. 'I tend to write in a really painstaking way. The last few years of my life have involved a lot of personal trauma - from me and my wife losing a pregnancy, through to losing other people in my life.' \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e The album is complemented by the delicate hand drawn pen and ink cover art created by Lee Zimmerman. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Faintest Idea's immersive and emotional 11 tracks sees a musician coming to terms with the talents that got him recognised and choosing to evolve into the unexpected and, despite having already gone viral and established himself as one of the modern-day masters of acoustic, this could very well be the release that sees the virtuoso transition to a mainstream audience, and it really just boils down to the magic of one man with his guitar and voice. And what a powerful magic it is. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e CD Digipack Edition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeep Sea Fishes ( 05:27 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCocoon ( 04:08 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDream Factories ( 04:52 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTempest ( 04:35 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Ghost Inside You ( 04:59 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal Biology ( 06:52 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSong For A Rainy Day ( 03:30 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck You're Still Breathing ( 03:30 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eButterfly Hurricane ( 05:28 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwallow You Whole ( 06:14 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil The Sun Destroys The Earth ( 04:35 )\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55131836023169,"sku":"1208196","price":13.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/310YdmDCF2L._SL1500.jpg?v=1766953807","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1208196","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
