What elevates Jones beyond the mere technically gifted is his uncanny ability to convey emotion in his fluid performance and compositions. After releasing the critically acclaimed 'My Garden State' album in 2013, Jones is set to return with his new studio record, 'Fleeting', recorded in a house on the banks of the Rancocas Creek in Mount Holly, New Jersey, where Jones and his recording engineer Laura Baird made no attempts to soundproof their environment, instead incorporating the sounds of crickets and birds into the recordings. Jones, who led the experimental ensemble Cul de Sac, records in unique spaces to ground each of his albums in a very specific, distinctive time and place. Jones shies away from standard tunings on his guitar and his banjo in order to challenge himself and his listeners. These unconventional tunings and his selection of recording spaces guide his songwriting, directing the way he makes his music. The resulting album is one that only Jones, with his unparalleled skills as a storyteller and as a musician, could have created.

Glenn Jones is a master of American Primitive Guitar, a style invented in the late 1950s by John Fahey, whose traditional fingerpicking techniques and wide-ranging influences were used to create modern original compositions. Jones, who led the post-rock ensemble Cul de Sac, brings his own made-up tunings, the use of custom-crafted partial capos, and a highly skilled picking style on both banjo and guitar, to create personal compositions that are lyrical, emotive and elegant. What sets him apart from the myriad guitarists playing today is his ability to tell stories with the guitar and banjo, and to convey a range of emotions. This process starts with the compositions themselves and carries through to his selection of recording environment and engineer. \u003ci\u003eThis Is The Wind That Blows It Out\u003c\/i\u003e stands the test of time in today's avant folk movement with Glenn Jones emerging as a clear leader. His pensive sentimentality and playful spirit, not to mention his innovative technique, have become just as ingrained into the style's DNA as any hallmarks of the original Takoma school.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thrill Jockey","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50531695067467,"sku":"1003782","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/3de3a689-c720-476f-b3d0-4cf7f78eb58c_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1728111329"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/glenn-jones.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
