Sunspire is Jack Jazrawy-Brown from the British countryside (Wiltshire). He currently lives in Birmingham and creates dream pop music from his university bedroom. His debut album “Ruins By The Sea” is set to be released on vinyl on indie label Crafting Room Recordings.
“‘Ruins By The Sea’ is my first fully produced album, and the culmination of two years of songwriting and producing. The first demo for the opening track, ‘Sirensong,’ was completed in July of 2020 in the midst of the UK’s coronavirus lockdown. In comparison to much of the album, this is a rather gloomy track; inspired by myths of sailors lured onto the rocks by the siren’s beautiful song, it reflects a collective time of hopelessness in all of our lives. But, as the album progresses a general sense of hope is established – despite the occasional melancholy of the lyrics, I hope that the overall message is one of joy, a reflection of a year perhaps not so full of despair after all.
The album is a serious departure from my first EP, ‘Euphoria’ – the lo-fi production and vague lyricism of those songs has been replaced by cleaner, catchier songwriting, with new production methods being explored as the album progresses. The addition of a quality microphone to my bedroom studio has been hugely important to the more professional sound of this record; vocals are clear and with audible lyrics, and the inclusion of acoustic guitar on many tracks is a key addition to the sound of the album. In later songs, I also began to experiment with alternative guitar tunings, most notably my own adaption of Nick Drake’s most commonly used open tuning.
