Far From Saints Announce Debut Album

by | Mar 16, 2023

The Kelly Jones-fronted Far From Saints have announced that their self-titled debut album will be released on 16th June 2023. The group, rounded out with The Wind And The Wave alum Patty Lynn and Dwight Baker have also announced new track Take It Through The Night.

Far From Saints

Taking in elements of country, rock, folk, soul, and Americana, Far From Saints’ debut album is an indelible set of ten expertly crafted songs that touch on themes of love, perseverance, self-doubt, and self-healing. It’s a record that, much like the band itself, was created over an unadulterated love of music and collaboration and, as a result, is honest, real, and brimming with integrity. Far From Saints have crafted a record which vibrates with intensity, anchored by Jones’ and Lynn’s striking and magnetic vocal connection, and further elevated by their songwriting with Baker. Of the record Lynn says: “It’s an album and it’s meant to be listened to from start to finish. That’s what I’d like for people to do. Listen to the whole thing and see it as a complete work on its own.”

Check out the lyric video for Take It Through The Night below:

In Take It Through The NightLynn’s yearning, longing vocal provides echoes of the haunting melody and emotional resonance of Fleetwood Mac, while Jones and Baker’s layered wall-of-sound guitars possess both the squalling slide of timeless Southern rock and a lurching intensity which recalls Led Zeppelin’s Kashmir. The song was written and produced by Far From Saints, with mixing courtesy of the Grammy-nominated Al Clay (BlurPixies). Jones recalls: “Patty wrote the whole ‘Take It Through The Night’ lyric herself. I had a tiny part of a blues riff and Dwight ran away with it and turned the chorus into a bit of an Eagles and Joe Walsh vibe. We were just in full-on guitar mode. We were trying to make an Allman Brothers record with that one.”

Although they had first toured together in 2013, it was in 2019 when the musical magnetism between the three musicians became too strong to ignore when The Wind And The Wave supported Jones during his solo tour. They started by covering Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty’s Stop Dragging My Heart Around, which went down a storm each night. In backstage hallways, dressing rooms, and hotels, the three musicians went on to trade musical touchstones, talk influences, and harmonise together. Soon, they were writing songs too and committed to working on a project together. They booked two sessions, one at the end of each leg of the tour and completed the album in just nine days. Far From Saints will make their live debut later this month with a warm-up show at London’s Oslo ahead of Roger Daltrey’s Teenage Cancer Trust gala at London’s Royal Albert Hall on 26th March. They will then follow their debut headline show at EartH Theatre on 5th June by supporting Kings Of Leon at their two headline shows at Wrexham FC on 27th and 28th May. The band will then play three outdoor shows as special guests to Paul Weller, as well as Black Deer Festival in June with further shows to be announced soon.  MARCH25th – London, Oslo (warm-up show)26th – London, Royal Albert Hall (Teenage Cancer Trust gala with Roger Daltrey) MAY27th – Wrexham FC – (Kings Of Leon support)28th – Wrexham FC – (Kings Of Leon Support) JUNE5th – London, EartH Theatre (HEADLINE SHOW – SOLD-OUT)8th – Westonbirt Arboretum (special guests to Paul Weller)9th – Cannock Chase Forest (special guests to Paul Weller)16th – 18th – Black Deer Festival17th – Thetford Forest (special guests to Paul Weller)
