<\/a>Button Eyes’\u00a0new single “Please Don’t Take My Blues” sees the ultra-charismatic newcomer CW Jones take on lead vocals.\u00a0It’s a bittersweet tribute to the conflicting emotions brought on by life and music, with tradition instruments underpinned by synthesisers and head nodding hip-hop style drums.<\/p>\nButton Eyes features some of the most exciting musicians in the country in guest slots, including Rag N Bone Man and Gemma L Williams on vocals and Will Calderbank on cello.<\/p>\n
Give us an insight into the journey, where did it all begin for Button Eyes?<\/strong><\/p>\n Button Eyes originated from the time I spent living in Brighton. I was going to a lot of live shows, particularly the Woodlands Records and Willkommen collective nights, and got to know some really interesting artists. I ended up doing some remixes for a few people and sampling a few sounds from the music they were selling at shows and managed to get a few people in to record some new parts on top of this. At the time there was a very strong scene in the area and everybody was playing in each other’s bands and recording together and Button Eyes was born from that.<\/p>\n What kind of sounds were you listening to when you were growing up?<\/strong><\/p>\n I listened to a wide variety of music growing up. I was always a bit fanatical from an early age. For my first gig my Mum took me to see Green Day at Brixton Academy, I was 11 years old. I was into Jungle and Hardcore as well as the usual Grunge and Punk bands everyone liked growing up. My dad was a huge Bowie fan and I definitely inherited that and still probably hold at least a couple of his albums in my top ten.<\/p>\n
