Kind (LP)

Recorded in just eleven days at The Distillery, Wiltshire, 'Kind' was co-produced by Kelly Jones and George Drakoulias (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Screaming Trees, Primal Scream). The recording sessions used minimal studio techniques, overdubs and technology. This stripped-back, raw approach to committing Kelly Jones' songwriting to tape provides listeners with captivating and candid snapshots of one of the UK's most enduring bands. The performances are led by Jones' distinct and emotive vocals that reveal a raw vulnerability not yet heard. The results are an honest and hopeful album for our times, and an album that stands shoulder to shoulder with the band's best work.

With unparalleled longevity and continued success, Stereophonics are a band woven into the fabric of popular music. With 'Kind,' Kelly Jones continues to cement his place amongst the great British songwriters with an ability to sketch and capture truth and beauty from everyday observations as well as delving into his own life experiences.
