Pale Green Things: The Islands

Pale Green Things Pale Green Things (Jack Traynor) is a solo alt-folk act from Manchester, UK. After becoming disillusioned with the music industry, Traynor took time out becoming a long distance van driver for two years. Travelling across the UK and Europe carrying anything from Motorbikes to Library exhibitions, Traynor found the time being away from music studios with nothing but a guitar and a toothbrush was the perfect writing environment.

In September 2017 Traynor parted ways with the transport business and got to recording his new songs. The first collection being the debut album ‘The Beast In The Hearts Of Men’, due out June 2018.

Named after The Mountain Goats track, “Pale Green Things”, Traynor goes for a similar alt-folk approach with additional influences from Sufjan Stevens, Bright Eyes, Belle & Sebastian and Iron & Wine. Out on 30th March 2018 on Just Maybe Records is the debut single, “The Islands”, and is an alt-folk tribute to the places that feel so far away from the world.
