█
Jamie Woon's debut album 'mirrorwriting' has been three
years in the makingà and a lifetime in the writing.
These are twelve pitch-perfect gems that combine
forward-thinking production with beautifully crafted
songs; a sonic support-system that frames and holds
Woon's luminous voice in all the right places. It's
intimate without being obvious, emotional without being
syrupy and honest without being confessional, where the
basic touchstones of human emotion get a fresh and
soulful airing.
This, he says, is a calming record, made for himself and
for other people. He's crafted a raft of dreamy,
unsettled melancholy, pieces of music which try to shake
off anxiety by finding a groove and songs that aim to
evoke inscrutable things. Oh, and Woon claims there are
at least four songs about going for a walk.
'Mirrorwriting' took three years of work and reworking.
Woon was sharing a house with fellow musicians Portico
Quartet in Clapton, East London working on his MacBook
and doing endless takes of each song, recording vocals
at The Way studio in Hackney, and 2 months in a cottage
in Trevone, Cornwall, where he recorded clicks and taps
on the wicker furniture, and recorded the sounds of
stones from the nearby stream to turn into snare drums.
He admits to doing hundreds of takes in order to get
exactly the right combination of mystery and technical
polish. By the end he was down to 'only' six or seven
takes. He might be a perfectionist, but he's also
unpredictable: the night before mastering the record he
reprised an old song, Blue Truth, which he released as a
free download 2 days later.
'Mirrorwriting' is a debut that's ripe for that
transition from niche to mainstream. It's a deeply
personal record that draws from R'nB, folk, '80s and
'90s soul and pop, UK bass culture and the blues. It
digs into emotions we all feel and sends them spinning,
just-recognisable, back to us. 'It's personal, almost
therapeutic. I'm quite a private person and I don't set
out to talk about my business in public but when songs
are done you can't get around it. They are like a code,
and all you need is a mirror to read it.'
Enjoy!
