‘Misery In Comfort’ the debut album by Welsh singer-songwriter Tom Jenkins is like most debuts, a collection of songs gathered over the years. Jenkins laid the foundations for his debut 12,000 miles away from his hometown of Pontypridd in the back country of New Zealand whilst working as a shepherd and a sheep shearer. He claims the solitude of the outback drove him back to picking up a guitar and songwriting. Something he was hoping to leave behind him. After arriving back home at the family farm in the hills of the South Wales Valleys, the songwriting continued but with no real intentions of a release until American singer songwriter & producer Elijah Ford caught wind of the songs and insisted they must do an album together and made the offer to record the album in Fort Worth, Texas. Elijah, the son of legendary Black Crowes guitarist Marc Ford and previously bass player of Oscar & Grammy winning country star Ryan Bingham has his roots firmly set in Americana, country and American rock, thought it would be an interesting idea to combine his background with Tom’s background in British Rock, the South Wales emo scene and being an Xtra Mile artist with his band Straight Lines, sharing a roster with the likes of Frank Turner, Rueben, The Xcerts, Get Cape. Wear cape. Fly. And Jonah Matranga who are all apparent influences in Jenkins’s music. To create a more interesting sound he called upon Luke Preble, bass player and vocalist of British rock underground heroes Canterbury and Lewys Issac (Drums) and Danny Owen (keys) of Cardiff electronic, indie band Safari Gold to add the extra dynamics to the sound. In November 2018 they headed out to Texas to start recording with the intention of creating an authentic, live sounding album, layered with a modern sound but keeping the sound as honest as the lyrical content of the songs painting a picture in the listeners head, edging towards a sound familiar to Band of Horses and The Shins. There’s no need to go into great detail of the lyrical content, the songs are worn on his sleeve and delivered with souring vocals and melodies that will stay in your head for days. ‘Misery In Comfort’ is a passion project that screams the very sense of the word passion. It’ll make you smile, it’ll make you cry and even dance at some points.
