Download: Johnny Flynn - Kentucky Pill
By: Samuel Smith, Thomas Hannan
If any of you musical beavers out there have been paying attention, you may be aware that our big sister label Transgressive Records is releasing Johnny Flynn’s forthcoming album Been Listening.
Upon learning that the album was almost finished, we snuck next door to their office on tiptoes, grabbed what we could and ran back to our bedrooms giggling with excitement. When we checked through our swag we found a shiny copy of his forthcoming single ‘Kentucky Pill’, a lyrical, uplifting summer anthem (wait till you hear the “running” part, it’s well good) - the kind of song you’ll inevitably find yourself listening to as the sun sets over your local park after a day of barbeques and sunburn.
So, being the generous people we are, we thought we’d pass on the deets,. All you need to do is click to the fellows site www.johnny-flynn.com and kindly give him your e-mail address please. Oh, and keep an eye out for the forthcoming music video, produced by our lovely, bearded head of TV, Kevin Molloy.
The full tracklisting for Been Listening is as follows:
1. Kentucky Pill
2. Lost and Found
3. Churlish May
4. Been Listening
5. Barnacled Warship
