Bill Ryder Jones – This Can’t Go On

One of those artists who just knows how to capture emotion and release it back into the wild in its purest form, Bill Ryder Jones shares new single This Can’t Go On ahead of the January release of album Iechyd Da.

If the single is anything to go by, we’re in for another treat full of leaps between the hopeless and hopeful, songs that will dig into your sides and refuse to leave until you promise to listen again.

Described as being ‘rooted in love, loss, pain, heartache and often a deep darkness, but also one that frequently ends up in places of profound beauty, hope and joy’, Bill says of Iechyd Da, “I love this album…I haven’t been this proud of a record since A Bad Wind Blows in My Heart… It’s my most produced record, it’s basically me carrying on with myself again, but this time around I’m a bit more competent as a producer”.

Watch the video for This Can’t Go On below. Whatever you’re doing when you listen to this, you’ll forget you were doing it until you drop back into the world at the end. And the album? Can’t wait.
