There’s been no stark meteoric rise, but a consistent creative incline that has resulted in four acclaimed albums, a UK number 1 vinyl single and an intensely loyal following. Each release displays the coordinates of a creative journey, audibly growing in depth and complexity as the decade's horizons and headlines have shifted.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is on these solid foundations that JOHN announce their first live release POST-KINO (Live at Scala), recorded at the historic SCALA venue in Kings Cross, London on the 29th February 2024 whilst supporting their last full length release A Life Diagrammatic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecorded and mixed by Front-Of-House live engineer James King, POST-KINO consciously preserves the moment without over-sterilisation. The ricochets from the former cinema walls (hence KINO: a term derived from the German Kinematograph film projector) similarly honoured by celebrated mastering engineer Katie Tavini. As with the rest of their discography, the artwork - designed by Newton of the band - is meticulous in its detail, whilst also refusing the high resolution performance photographs that we might expect\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efrom such a release.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a present where fast consumption is all-to-often favoured over digestion and thought, JOHN offer an alternative view, whilst still offering the primal vigour of a band who have honed their craft at many of the very best venues that this world has to offer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BRACE YOURSELF","offers":[{"title":"Limited Eco-Mix LP + Poster (1000 Only)","offer_id":53021514727766,"sku":"MRM-01644","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/6088\/9430\/files\/11109948e66c1568ca97f7784f630c6a.jpg?v=1775195007","url":"https:\/\/monorailmusic.com\/products\/john-post-kino-live-at-scala","provider":"Monorail Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
