After a sabbatical during which Hugo Manuel released two critically acclaimed EPs under the moniker Chad Valley, Jonquil are back re-formed, refreshed and renewed. "It’s My Part" is a fitting introduction to "Point Of Go", a record that is in their own words “far more poppy and accessible” than anything Jonquil have previously written.

Recorded over a six-week period it takes the band's summery, afro-beat flourishes and delicately intricate guitars and strips them back to a set of immediate, direct pop songs. With influences from Fleetwood Mac to The Smiths, Chic and Earth, Wind and Fire to Arthur Russell – the quartet's third LP is an exercise in classic pop sensibilities held up by a modern backbone. “I've always found it very hard to write things that don't seem to be... obvious” shrugs Hugo. “To me it's obvious because it's good; people are expecting certain chords because it should happen.

Now a quartet – Hugo Manuel, Sam Scott, Robin McDiarmid and Dominic Hand – 'Point Of Go' is their third (and yet, in a way, their first) record; an evolution, a transformation and a new start simultaneously. Side B is a stomping new remix by Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.
