There\u2019s also joy and hope in there.

Across three studio albums and a hatful of singles and EPs since 2013, his work with&nbsp;<strong>TRAMPOLENE<\/strong>&nbsp;has always drawn from this humungous, ever-accumulating verbal resource. On his own, he has also published a novel (2023\u2019s&nbsp;\u2018Swansea to Hornsey\u2019) and recited poems and delivered spoken-word onstage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new direction arose out of an introduction to Mancunian artist\/producer\/songwriter\/laptop warrior Adam French. For Jones, French\u2019s way of composing and recording was like being teleported into a parallel dimension.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To coincide with the release&nbsp;<strong>Jack Jones<\/strong>&nbsp;has announced the following live shows in November, along with a performance at Glastonbury in June.
