Exciting Willy Moon to drop new album

NOT many artists are described as a hybrid of Cab Calloway, Michael Jackson and The Ramones - so step forward Willy Moon.
The 23-year-old is due to deliver his debut album 'Here's Willy Moon' through Island Records on April 1.
It is was written, recorded and produced all on his own (with a few tracks being produced by Pulp's Steve Mackey), and he doesn't like to waste time with the 12-track record just 29 minutes long.
The London-based New Zealander said: "My album is short like my songs. I always loved the relentlessness and excitement of that first Ramones album and there's something of that spirit in there. I think it will surprise people who've only heard Yeah Yeah, there's some slower, more atmospheric songs on it and one that even last for over three minutes...ha!"
Willy spent last summer playing festivals across Europe, including Cannes film festival and recently made his debut on BBC2’s Later… With Jools Holland, while Apple picked up his Wu-Tang-sampling barnburner ‘Yeah Yeah’ for its latest iPod ad.
The album is available to buy on iTunes here.
He is also heading out on tour on support of the album with the following dates:
05/03 - XOYO - London (Sold Out)
22/03 - O2 Academy - Birmingham
23/03 - ABC 2 – Glasgow
25/03 - Deaf Institute - Manchester (Sold Out)
