To coincide with the release of Mirrors singer Jon McClure releases a book of his lyrics and poetry, illustrated by Horace Panter from The Specials, The Lyrics and Poetry of Jon McClure with Illustrations by Horace Panter.

The book features every lyric from Reverend & The Makers as well as poems including Jon McClure’s collaboration with John Cooper Clark. An exclusive sample of the book is available from the bands webstore when you preorder Mirrorshttp://po.st/MirrorsPM

Jon McClure adds “Ed (guitarist and fellow songwriter) and I became resolute to make a record that we loved. Why not indulge the overwhelming urge to not play games anymore and set about making some art we are actually proud of rather than the release tour festivals repeat cycle we’d been on since forever. And so we took the files we’d been diligently recording off to Jamaica and spruced them up a bit whilst making a film. The result is the best thing we’ve ever done in my opinion. The reaction when I play it to people is like nothing I’ve seen before, except maybe the first album.”
