One month on from the release of Jon Gomm’s debut single Passionflower - which has so far been watched over 45,000 times on Youtube and played on radio stations on three continents - today sees the release of the second single, Jon’s re-imagining of The Police’s Message In A Bottle.
The video is here :

As with all the releases in this “ Domestic Science Singles Series” the song was home recorded, and the video made by keen helpers on a budget of almost nothing. And in keeping with Jon’s DIY ethic, the download is only available from http://jongomm.com/store (no iTunes or Spotify) on a Pay What You Want basis (including free if you choose!) A percentage of all proceeds goes to The Happy House children’s home in Watamu, Kenya.
Thanks to everyone who played, reviewed, blogged about, tweeted or facebooked the last single! All coverage is HUGELY appreciated, and also relayed to Jon’s 25,000+ social networks and 8,000+ email list.
And finally a quick note from Jon: “This song has a strong emotional resonance for me: when I was a kid my taste in music was completely guided by my dad’s record collection – he had thousands of records, so every day was a musical education. But when my mum and dad split up I was left with my mum’s record collection which was... erm... sh*t (sorry mum.) She had one record I liked, so it got played a lot. And this was it. A darkly isolationist anthem of despair. And now look at me. I hope you like it!”
