Mr Bewlay on the Pure Local Extra show

Next, we delved into his songwriting process. Mr Bewlay described it as fluid, constantly evolving with no fixed approach. He explained that sticking to the same songwriting methods can lead to rehashing old ideas. For his latest EP, he brought several half-formed ideas into the studio, unsure of their final direction. To develop these songs, he drew inspiration from other music and literature he’d encountered. This process led to multiple demos of the same tracks, each sounding distinct from the others. He then turned to his collaborators for additional input, refining the songs further.

Tonight marks the release of *Against All Reason*, the final EP in a trilogy. As part of the promotional tour, Mr Bewlay has been performing across the UK, including a sold-out show tonight at Le Pub on Newport’s High Street. He’s also performed in Cardiff and Swansea, with more shows planned in Liverpool, London, and at various music festivals. The trilogy of EPs tells a cohesive story: *Electric Reason* represents the exciting beginning, *Black Reason* is the chaotic middle, and *Against All Reason* serves as the reflective conclusion. Each EP mirrors the stage of life Mr Bewlay was experiencing at the time of its creation.
