London based NZ artist, Blair
Jollands is pleased to release his new album 7
Blood.
Jollands has often been compared vocally to Nick Cave, Rufus Wainwright & Scott Walker, his music communicating a paradoxical mix of melancholia and optimism that draws the listener in.
Having won the admiration of both David Bowie & Boy George (who released Blair's previous material under the name El Hulaon his More Protein label), Jollands has received praise from the likes of NME, Guardian, Uncut, ArtRocker and more.
The collection of songs on 7 Blood are as diverse musically as they are thematically, from the crooning I'll Remember You and the cowboy ballad Restless Soul to the funked up frenetic dance track 7 Blood. Incidentally, the album title refers to the Adalucian mountain herb, taken to combat Jollands' battle with Lyme disease after being bitten by a tick.
Recently returning from a tour of South America and collaboration with Brazilian group Pato Fu after performing at Runway Festival on 7th July and Cornbury Festival, July 15, Jollands will be returning to New Zealand in the New Year to promote his latest offering.
Keep an eye out for Jollands, who will be featuring on the TVNZ series Dream Catchers of which he also composed the soundtrack.
7 Blood is now available from iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music and all good digital outlets.
