In 2023, Trashcan Sinatras frontman John Douglas released his long awaited solo debut. Rooted in acoustic based material, the eponymously named record allowed fans to experience a much more introspective performer. This follow up EP finds the musician branching out just a little – with the help of friends Boo Hewerdine, Eddi Reader and others – but the material still retains a very sophisticated singer-songwriter approach, which fans mightn’t associate with his better known band work.
