Jonathan Boulet Adds Extra London Show, Debut UK/EU Tour Starts Next Week
New album ‘We Keep The Beat, Found The Sound, See The Need, Start The Heart’ out now on Modular Recordings
“What makes We Keep The Beat… work is that it doesn’t deviate too much from the beaten track, the juggernaut rhythms terrify the ear canals. Boulet has a successful formula – add a dollop of drums, stand arms aloft, before finally stirring in the rough and ready macho reluctantly. Songs like ‘Hallowed Hag’ and ‘Mangle Twig’ seem separated at birth as Boulet adapts and tweaks the formula, making subtle differences that somehow keep the listener interested.” Drowned in Sound
Ahead of this debut UK/EU tour next week, Sydney upstart Jonathan Boulet has added an extra London show. Jonathan is now playing two shows at Shacklewell Arms on the 12th and 13th September to begin his ten-date strong tour in support of new album, ‘We Keep The Beat, Found The Sound, See The Need, Start The Heart’ out now on Modular Recordings.

Stream another album track, the intensely short and brutal ‘Trounce’:
On his debut self-titled album, Jonathan Boulet was an accomplished first step for the Sydney native – recorded, played, sung, produced and mixed by a 21 year old in his parent’s garage. On ‘We Keep The Beat, Found The Sound, See The Need, Start The Heart’ Boulet has again taken the reins, but this time he’s opened the doors to the garage and let the world in, and it shows. ‘We Keep The Beat…’ is a soaring burst of melody and harmony, built on the blocks of primal, incessant rhythm. It features choruses of chanting choirs, speedball drum lines and junkyards of melodic percussion. It’s a dense, cathartic record of unbridled energy and heavy pop.
