Jon Fratelli Announces New Single "Evangeline"

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Jon Fratelli - Multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and front man of The Fratellisannounces details of a new single "Evangeline" out today! "Evangeline" is the third single taken from Jon's forthcoming solo album. Bright Night Flowers which will be released on February 15, 2019 via Cooking Vinyl.

Jon talks about the new track by saying "Evangeline is a good example of a song that starts it's life heading in one direction and ends it in somewhere completely unexpected. When I first recorded this, stylistically it was more in the realms of a Spector-Esque "Wall Of Sound" piece, where it is now pays more of a homage to the kind of easy, country strum which I always tend to gravitate back towards. Songs like this are so pliable that you can make them fit almost any style you want, to my ears this version is the one that suits the song best, allows it to breath and meander at it's own pace to take you where it needs to."

Bright Night Flowers was recorded in Scotland during the summer of 2018 and was self produced with the help of a long term friend, musician and producer Stuart McCredie(Simple Minds, Echo & The Bunny Men, Belle & Sebastian and The Fratellis)

Straight off the back of the last Fratellis album, Jon's solo material displays a more down-tempo melodic side to his song writing and with echoes of Glen Campbell, Roy Orbison and even Tom Waits, this perfectly-assembled, finely-wrought, nine-track album showcases something very special from his art.

Soul-noir, country gothic, The Big 'O' meets The Big Easy, the Heart of Saturday Night meets the West End of Glasgow...Call it what you will, Jon's second solo 'joint' is a little masterpiece and a refreshing change of pace from his previous work.
