Gallery 47 announces new single ‘Lefty’!
“…Jeff Buckley-esque vibrato with
sheer youthful exuberance…”
- Drowned in Sound
Singer-songwriter Gallery 47 aka Jack Peachey returns with with another delicately weaved collection of captivating alt-folk tracks on his latest EP Bad Production, out on 5th May 2017 via Bad Production Records.
The first single to be taken form the EP Lefty premiered on Northern Transmissions and is also available to stream via Jack's Soundcloud page now.
Potentially his most politically influenced release yet, Bad Production feels as though it couldn’t have arrived at a more appropriate time. Forthcoming singles Lefty, Political Differences and EP track ‘Overflow’ were written as a result of an alcohol-infused dispute between Peachey and some family members who commented negatively on today’s youth and their approach to finding work. This is an issue Jack has struggled with himself, making this release even more relatable and poignant. The other tracks on the EP follow in a similar vein, filled with Jack’s signature intricate guitar picking and a storytelling charm akin to the likes of Bob Dylan and Jeff Buckley’s unique ability to create soft, bittersweet tales of melancholy.
Gallery 47 originally formed ten years ago as a six-piece band in Loughborough. Once the band went their separate ways, Jack decided to continue as a solo artist under the same name, becoming a regular on the live circuit in Nottingham and currently in his new home of South East London.
Amongst Jack’s supporters are BBC Radio 2‘s Bob Harris, BBC 6music’s Tom Robinson, BBC Radio Nottingham’s Dean Jackson, The Guardian, Drowned in Sound and Folk Radio to name a few. Gallery 47 has also supported a number of well established acts like Paul Weller, Alice Phoebe Loe, Ian McCulloch and Andrew Montgomery as well as playing on the BBC Introducing stage at T in the Park.
With Bad Production, Jack tells an intriguing story of discrimination, sibling rivalry, school politics and drug abuse entwined with intelligent lyricism and beautiful arrangements.
Bad Production by Gallery 47 is due for release on 5th May 2017 via Bad Production Records.
