JOY Presents:BOOK OF CHURCHES
Felix Mackenzie-Barrow, co-vocalist and guitarist with breakthrough alt-country band Divorce, is today sharing details of his first solo project under the moniker Book of Churches. His debut album of the same name will be release on 6th March via Gravity / Capitol. The album's lead single 'Song By A Stranger' is out now.
2025 has been some year for Felix with his band Divorce, which won rave reviews, awards nominations, toured the length and breadth of the UK, debuted in Europe and North America, and landed on major festival mainstages. At various junctures during this whirlwind year though, Felix was snatching moments away in isolation, pressing forward with a writing process that describes as “incredibly DIY” and “kind of naive.” Each song was written in one day, recorded the next, and left largely untouched until the album was handed over to Richie Kennedy (Interpol, The Last Dinner Party) for mixing. Charting lost love, dread, grief and anger, ‘Book of Churches’ was about breaking some of his own creative rules, trusting his own singular voice, and committing to “the raw contents of my brain.” The result is a timeless minimalism in the tradition of folk singer-songwriters like Nick Drake and Fionn Regan, or Leonard Cohen.
