Two of the elder statesmen of British psychedelic pop, Norman Blake and Euros Childs, have recently teamed up under the name Jonny. The pair are obviously taking an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach to this new joint venture, and their forthcoming self-titled LP is a predictable blend of molten harmonies and left-of-centre lyrics. Jonny played a sold-out show at Camden's Water Rats venue on Wednesday night, with support from another duo, labelmates Wye Oak, whose mellow dream folk got things going nicely. Anni Timms was on hand to take some photos of the gig for us, which you can view below. The band, meanwhile, set forth on a UK and European tour next month, following the release of Jonny on January 31. You can read our verdict on the album here.
