12. Your VoiceScottish songwriter Jo Mango is delighted to announce brand new album The Lightswitch, her first solo LP in twelve years and her third solo studio album. It’s the follow-up to her highly- acclaimed 2012 Murmuration LP, which followed Jo’s time playing in Vashti Bunyan’s band, including a show at The Carnegie Hall for David Byrne’s Welcome To Dreamland series. It also continues a body of work that spans more than two decades, and has seen her write for and with the likes of Teenage Fanclub, Karine Polwart, Admiral Fallow, and many other contemporaries. Formed of twelve new songs, the album was made primarily between Scotland and Margate alongside friend and producer Adem (The Ballad of Wallis Island, Philip Selway, Lau, Four Tet) and was engineered in Glasgow by Paul Savage (Mogwai, Teenage Fanclub, Arab Strap) at the renowned Chem 19 studios
Led for the first time by Jo’s electric guitar, the songs are brought to life by Jo and Adem’s musical flourishes that add a real sense of depth and peril to the work. A harp, a Steinway grand piano, vintage synths and more are all present here, as well as strings courtesy of the Elysian Collective, which features Emma Smith and Richard Jones (Pulp, Beth Gibbons), and drums from Chris Vatalaro (Anhoni and the Johnsons, Sam Amidon, Brian Eno). Inspired by the songs of Adrianne Lenker, Aldous Harding, and Angel Olsen, as well as the textural soundscapes of James Blake, the majority of the songs here take their names from inanimate pieces of a house, the deeper details and sentiments held somewhere deep within, revealed over time. On the face of it, they could simply be love songs – and they often are. Pick them up and hold them to the light, however, and you might see something different, new colours that weren’t there before, the world flipped upside down.
