Jono McCleery - Moonlit Parade (2022)

April 2021 sees the release of Jono McCleery’s new album Moonlit Parade – a deeply personal manifesto of raw poetry with a quietly self-contained sound.

Calm and sincere, with a restful voice and a focus on the essential, the music on Jono McCleery’s new album gets straight to the point, satisfying the listener with subtlety. The London-based singer and musician has deliberately adopted a no-frills approach on Moonlit Parade, successfully capturing what most people probably feel has been taken away from them by the 2020/2021 pandemic: a sense of closeness. Allowing someone to be close to you first of all means trusting them, and Jono trusts the music. He doesn’t need to ask anything of it, nor force it in any way. He doesn’t have to disguise it, he doesn’t have to distort it. And everything has gone to plan: the music is there and it gets under your skin
