“…with an upcoming tour in April Jerry Leger may be about to break in the UK. I advise you to see him: on this evidence, he will not be playing small venues for too long.” Keith Hargreaves at AmericanaUK reviews ‘Nonsense and Heartache’ out Mar 2nd across the UK & Europe on Latent Recordings / Proper Records

Thanks to Jeremy Searle at AmericanaUK for sharing the video for “Things Are Changing ‘Round Here” from Nonsense and Heartache which sees a re-release in the UK and Europe March 2nd through Latent Recordings/Proper Music.

The video was created and filmed by Toronto artist Shannon Gerard, made up of thousands of drawings cut out and glued to a blank wall. It was brought to life using stop motion, creating  a truly unique experience.

There have been some rumors that I might be touring overseas in the New Year, maybe they’re true, I don’t know. Anyway, it’s nice that the new LP is getting some nice things said about it.

Thanks to Johnny Wilhelmsen in Norway for listing ‘Nonsense and Heartache’ as one of the best records of the year:
