Anyone who has heard John's work with seminal Manchester band I Am Kloot, will be cheered by the news of this impending release. One of the country's most underrated singer-songwriters, John Bramwell, returns to the fray with a remarkable new album, The Light Fantastic via Townsend Music.

Nominated for a Mercury Prize in 2010 for their acclaimed Sky At Night album, I Am Kloot never quite received the widespread success their music deserved.

This new album is a masterclass in emotionally charged and melodically driven tunes for the adventurous. All 12 tracks were written by John except for 'Nobody Left But You' which he co-wrote with album producer Dave Fidler.

"After both my Mum and Dad died, I started writing these songs to cheer myself up,\" John admits with typical candour. \"The themes are taken from my dreams at the time. Wake up and take whatever impression I had from what I could remember of my dream and write that.\"

Despite the sentiment, the songs are surprisingly uplifting. And will no doubt sound great live.
