As one of the pioneers of the modern fingerstyle sound, Jon Gomm has a rare gift for turning one instrument into what feels like an entire orchestra. The singer-songwriter's 2003 home-recorded debut, 'Hypertension', was nothing short of a musical revelation.
Things changed for Jon when landmark single 'Passionflower' racked up millions of views on YouTube & other media platforms in 2012 – with British legend Stephen Fry describing him on mainstream television as someone "playing the guitar in a way I'd never seen it played before" & "an all-round genius". The Faintest Idea's title is based on the notion that all of us, to some extent, are just 'The Faintest Idea', "It's an enigmatic title," says Gomm.
"There's a fine line between a metaphor & a pun, so I guess it dances on that" & explores the contrasts between the warmth of Gomm's acoustic articulation with more icy affairs, thanks to the synth parts & production work from Australian musician Andy Sorenson, together they have created a contemporary masterpiece.
