Marc Valentine - Basement Sparks - LP

Marc Valentine is jinxed!
Marc Valentine, the unmistakably British singer-songwriter whose powerpop-fuelled debut album was released last year to critical acclaim, returns with Jinx Of Finchley Road - a digital single scheduled for release through Little Steven's Wicked Cool Records on 1 September. Produced by Dave Draper (The Wildhearts, Ryan Hamilton, The Professionals), the song hints at nefarious and uncanny happenings in north London. Nostalgia and mystery meet in a basement full of hooks to create a single that sounds as if it was plucked from the charts during the glory days of Britpop. Having honed his craft over four albums with cult pop-rockers Last Great Dreamers, Valentine launched a solo career in 2022, his album Future Obscure delighting fans and picking up praise from an array of publications. Jinx Of Finchley Road marks his return to the spotlight, which looks set to grow even brighter through 2024.
