Nearly three years since the untimely demise of Welsh eclectic pop fun troupe Race Horses, their frontman Meilyr Jones is plotting a return with a solo album due for released in early 2016.
‘How to Recognise A Work Of Art’, the lead single from the new album, is about the obsession in our time with authenticity and the cult of the artist. Recorded completely live with a full band it is a song about authenticity and forgery, of which Meilyr says: “I wrote the song about the preposterous world of art collectors, the panic of what is popular, what will succeed, telling people what to like, what to eat, and the recycling of pop culture. I also wanted to make something light and fun, and full of humour.”
