_**“Many of my favourite moments on stage are when I get to focus solely on the 
electric guitar”**_** – Ashley Naylor**  

**Ashley Naylor** guitarist for **Paul Kelly**, **The Church**, **the RocKwiz Orchestra**
and a host of others, and guitarist, songwriter and singer of beloved Melbourne 
band **Even**, is breaking out on his own in late 2023 as he enters a new phase 
focused on instrumental guitar music.

Taking inspiration from the likes of **Jimi Hendrix, Dicky Betts, Peter Frampton,
Eddie Hazel, David Axelrod** and more recent artists like **AIR** and **Spiritualized**,
Naylor’s new music, which is performed live by his new 4-piece band **Spaceship**,
is featured on his forthcoming instrumental solo album _**Soundtracks Volume 2**_,
out **October 20** on **El Reno Music**.

_**Soundtracks Volume 2 **_will be available for pre-order on the [El Reno Music Bandcamp](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2ffacebook.us4.list%2dmanage.com%2ftrack%2fclick%3fu%3d7468cc72c4dbd0d828cf87a0a%26id%3d65a7d4e3f9%26e%3d7f3088bce0&umid=fb25adc4-7212-42c7-9587-c87d20c0dabb&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-315d970eca7034e46c742f3473239c03a07a530a)
site on **October 6** (which, by the way, is a **Bandcamp Friday**). Fans are encouraged
to follow [El Reno on Bandcamp](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2ffacebook.us4.list%2dmanage.com%2ftrack%2fclick%3fu%3d7468cc72c4dbd0d828cf87a0a%26id%3dd154f37f9b%26e%3d7f3088bce0&umid=fb25adc4-7212-42c7-9587-c87d20c0dabb&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-0976a7b96615a7552e13231e75f3881008731341)
to receive a notification when the pre-order goes live. 

An album launch and more live shows will be announced shortly.

_**Soundtracks Volume 2**_, which has been preceded by the 8-minute single **“Spaceship”**,
will be Naylor’s second volume of instrumental guitar music and will be his first
solo release since **Even**‘s acclaimed 2021 **ARIA Top 20** Double album _**Reverse
Light Years**_. It won’t be the first new release of 2023 to feature Naylor’s remarkable
playing though; most notably he appears throughout **The Church**‘s latest album**
_The Hypnogogue_**_, _which was his first album with the iconic group he joined 
in 2020.  

Naylor also played on **Paul Kelly**‘s recently released cover of the **Sunnyboys**‘
classic **“Alone with You”**, and also appears on the new **ARIA Top 10 album** _**
Hey Dawn**_ by up & coming Australian alt-country superstar** Fanny Lumsden.** In
2021 he featured on **Vika & Linda’s #2 ARIA **charting album **_The Wait_**, and**
Paul Kelly**‘s **#1 ARIA** charting _**Christmas Train**_, and toured with both 
PK and the sisters nationally. He has also helped ready for release a new album –
also coming this November – by **The Ronson Hangup**, another long-term project 
which he fronts alongside former **Anyones **singer and songwriter **Steve Pinkerton**.

Naylor has had a frantically busy year, involving a lot of touring with both **Paul
Kelly** and **The Church, **including a 21 city, six week Church US tour – and he
set to take off a second US tour with The Church in late September – but as the 
release of **_Soundtracks Volume 2_** approaches, he has his sights set on space–
inner and outer, wherever his playing will take him – and is getting his instrumental
guitar head on. Stay tuned.

**Praise for Ashley Naylor & Even’s 2021 ARIA Top 20 Double album **_**Reverse Light
Years**_

_**“If you need any proof of Naylor’s guitar genius, all you have to do is listen
to Even’s new album, Reverse Light Years'”**_ – Jeff Jenkins, Rhythms

_**“If you love the enduring power of guitar-charged rock’n’roll, Reverse Light 
Years is the kind of record that can restore the soul, feed the mind and heal the
heart… Eight albums in and still growing. What a band. Definitive statement? Thus
far, anyway.**_” – Noel Mengel, Loudmouth

_**“This is music to get lost in…”**_ – Martin Boulton, The Age

_**“If you like guitar-driven pop-rock in just about any form, you’ll almost certainly
find something for you here … You could think of Reverse Light Years as something
of a sampling platter, but that doesn’t do justice to how harmoniously these songs
live together. “**_ – Dan Condon, Double J/[ABC.net.au](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2ffacebook.us4.list%2dmanage.com%2ftrack%2fclick%3fu%3d7468cc72c4dbd0d828cf87a0a%26id%3d3387f19038%26e%3d7f3088bce0&umid=fb25adc4-7212-42c7-9587-c87d20c0dabb&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-c53506bd1fb2be1f7ff14cd41244c2bdc69de914)

_**“Reverse Light Years is immense in every sense – 17 tracks that sparkle and shine
with varying influences sharing a common thread; an ear for melody and a knowing
sense of fun and excess. Guitar-based jangle pop that flexes its muscles and strikes
a pose.”  **_–  Arun Kendall, Backseat Mafia

_**“The Melbourne band’s eighth album is their best yet – a musical cornucopia of
glam stompers, magnificent power pop and epics… This might be the best double album
in its field since Paul Kelly’s Gossip. \*\*\*\*\* “**_ – Andrew Stafford, The Guardian
