299 - The 299 Game [White Vinyl]

Release Date: 21st May 2021
Genre: Rock

The 299 Game is the debut LP from 299, a collection of ten songs with an overarching sense of Lynchian weirdness is offset by songs that ring with crisp melodies and compositional nous.

299 is the solo recording project of Welsh multi-instrumentalist and producer Gavin Fitzjohn (who has worked with the likes of Manic Street Preachers, Gruff Rhys, James Dean Bradfield, Paolo Nutini and more), with 299 coming to life a few years ago while Fitzjohn was making his way across the US.

Intoxicating, dangerous in its allure, there are flecks of ‘60s vocal groups and Tom Waits-style melancholia tied up in Fitzjohn’s deliberate American drawl.

Tracks: True Blue You / Sugar and Spice / Truth or Consequence / A Short Goodbye / Picking Through The Scraps / Blue Island / Get Wet / You Know Those Things You Wished For? / It’s Not The Time / Watertown
