DESKJOB is an album of performances by…
Meursault, Panda Su, Conquering Animal Sound, eagleowl, Adam Beattie, Iona Marshall, Autistic Angus, The Oates Field, Adam P Gorman, and Inspector Tapehead.
…with all tracks being produced by Jonnie Common.

Jonnie is a Glasgow-based artist, recently signed to Manchester label Red Deer Club, who was formerly known as Down the Tiny Steps (Fence Records) and is currently part of Inspector Tapehead (Song, By Toad). This is actually a self-release but seeing as we are both friends and fans of his, he kindly offered to let us make it available in the Toad shop.

Jonnie invited this rich cast of talent to record one of their songs in a minimal format and persuaded them to grant him carte blanche in adding instrumentation as he saw fit. The result is a strong and eclectic long player of unique arrangements which will be launched with a one-off performance at The Captain’s Rest.  The launch will feature 9 of the 10 acts, with each act playing 2 songs in intimate fashion.

“This project was about getting lots of people who I think are immensely talented onto a release together. I’m very proud of the album and if it turns any fans of one act onto any of the 9 others, then I’ll have achieved what I hoped to.” – Jonnie
