After several years of performing in the band Trashcan Sinatras, John Douglas has ventured into new territory, releasing his first solo album. The new project, John Douglas, features the singer’s original songs, as well as reimagined versions of his favorite tracks from the Trashcan Sinatras.

Released via Reveal Records, Douglas also included a rendition of Prefab Sprouts’ “We Let The Stars Go,” showing off his willingness to experiment and reinvent his sound. He also dropped a music video for another track on the album called “Lost,” which was recorded live with no overdubs and produced by Mark Freegard.

Amplify Music Magazine raved about Douglas’s new work, calling it a “fantastic album… a unique gem within each and every track… A sheer delight – recommended for everyone suffering from sensory overstimulation. This will calm your mind and ease you into healthy listening.”

The new album is available on CD and digitally, easily accessible on sites like Bandcamp and other streaming services. On Bandcamp, listeners can have exclusive access to two other songs by Douglas titled “Last Orders” and “The Drink”.

Douglas will set out on tour this fall alongside  Withered Hand throughout Scotland.
