A film soundtrack and one-off song debut aside, Johnny Flynn’s music has waited in the wings the past couple years while the British actor performed in lauded theater roles (playing alongside the great Mark Rylance as Lady Anne in Richard III and Viola/Cesario in Twelfth Night, to name a few). But finally, a follow-up to 2010’s Been Listening is imminent, preceded by a string of UK solo shows booked for the summer. Many new tunes are promised to grace these dates, but for those of us not bound to cross the Atlantic, Flynn shared a preview of “Bottom of the Sea Blues,” a song so fresh he kept a lyric sheet on-hand for the homemade performance clip. Looking forward to this number’s studio version, but in the meantime, catch it in promising bedroom form above.
