Here's the press release with more info:
'Clarity in Dusk' is the third studio album by Northants' based Stevie Jones and the Wildfires who deliver a unique blend of alternative rock centred around acoustic based songwriting.
The first seeds were sown during lockdown when Stevie wrote and released a stripped down acoustic album ‘Come In From The Rain’ in 2020. Many of the songs were inspired by walks in his local surrounding countryside including the fields and woods which were the creative force behind the poems of 'Peasant poet' John Clare. Once the band reconvened after the pandemic, they began to carve out which songs worked as a full band adding newer songs into the mix and returned to Deadline Studio Leicester in early 2023 once again to record with producer Adam Ellis.
Topically it covers a range of subjects including solace in nature, romance, domestic abuse, reflection on ageing and loss and the current threat posed to the environment by the rapid over development of the countryside. Musically it takes you on a journey of different genres. There’s a raw alt folk rock honesty where previous comparisons of New Model Army and The Levellers could be sited but there’s also a melodic Americana influence in the guitar-led songs in some of the arrangements. Elements of Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson which Stevie discovered during the writing can be heard in some of the more progressive rock moments. Whilst all tracks are individually strong it is aimed to go against the grain of the current playlist generation and listened to as a whole album (maybe on a walk?) with all the songs hanging together as a solid body of work.
'Clarity In Dusk' is scheduled for full international streaming release on Oct 13th, 2023, which ties in with a special album launch show at Mama Liz’s Stamford that evening.
