Description
Willie recorded the lsquoHello Good Morningrsquo EP together with his forthcoming second album due in 2020 with Loren Humphrey ndash drummer for The Last Shadow Puppets, Florence The Machine, Tame Impala and Lana Del Rey, as well as a producer in his own right. All fifteen songs were recorded in just nine days at the Echo Zoo studio in Eastbourne.Recording live to tape was an indulgence, but one which enabled them to embrace a particular mindset. It fitted Lorenrsquos purist approach, while Willie was happy to focus on playing rather than having to do everything himself.The EP title reflects Williersquos key approach to finding inspiration to his new songs. Hersquod wait next to morning commuters at his local train station, relax in a local cafeacute or sit alone in the cinema all with a notepad in hand to document any interesting details or snippets of conversation that he overheard.Willie J Healey operates within his own lane. This is a musician who can write about any topic that grabs his attention from wry observationals and the innocence of young love, through to gothic visitations from the devil and alien abductions. Hersquos unconstrained by genre, moving at will between scrappy garagerock, evocative Americana and sumptuous psychedelia. And its all his own work, the product of obsessively writing song after song in his studiogaragebedroom. His talent has engaged with a growing following, including high profile names such as Laurie Vincent of Slaves, Orlando Weeks and Gaz Coombes.
