Jamie Woon’s debut album Mirrorwriting will be released on April 11 through Polydor / Candent Songs.

It’s comprised of twelve tracks recorded in East London and Trevone, Cornwall, and includes 2010 single ‘Night Air’, which boasts additional production from Burial. Earmarked as one to watch ever since his exquisite cover of ‘Wayfaring Stranger’ three years back (thanks in no small part to the remix by, yes, Burial), Woon’s star is now truly in the ascendant: he figured prominently in the BBC’s Sound of 2011 poll and performed a sell-out tour (another one has just been announced).

“It’s personal, almost therapeutic,” says the 28-year-old of his songs and songwriting. “I’m quite a private person and I don’t set out to talk about my business in public but when songs are done you can’t get around it. They are like a code, and all you need is a mirror to read it.”
