Jo Bartlett - The Cut Up (2022)

‘It’s great! So inventive.’ Andy Bell (Oasis / Ride) Andy included ‘Greener’ from the album in his 20 best tracks of 2022 for Brooklyn Vegan.

‘It’s mad and inspired in equal doses. Very cool collection of sounds and memories all in one fascinating melting pot.’ Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins)

‘What an honour!’ Huw Stephens featured on ‘Hwyl’ (BBC 6 / Radio Wales)

‘..it’s really super with plenty of wonky melodies pushed to the fore.’ The Crack Magazine

I used various cassette recordings of my past (band rehearsals, radio interviews, gigs I'd put on as The Buzz Club), cut them up and put them into Logic, on my laptop. I then added synths, beats, guitars and vocals and made 'The Cut Up'. It's a d.i.y. concept album.
