Gargleblast Records are extremely proud to announce the release of Span / Only Colour, the new double a-side single from The Other Half of Everything, the critically acclaimed album by Scottish singer-songwriter Martin John Henry.

Henry honed his poetic talent as the frontman/songwriter in De Rosa, whose albums Mend and Prevention for Chemikal Undergound Records have become contemporary classics on their home turf. In an article for The Skinny in 2008, Barry Burns of Mogwai stated that De Rosa were a big influence on Mogwai, saying that their last album Prevention was "a great achievement and very inspiring to me".

Henry has toured and collaborated with many of Scotland's finest creatives, including Mogwai, Malcolm Middleton and King Creosote. In 2007 Henry collaborated with author Michel Faber on the critically lauded Ballads of the Book compilation (Chemikal Underground, 2007), and in 2009 he contributed a cover of The Beatles' Because to MOJO's Abbey Road Now! CD. In 2011, Henry toured the UK and Europe supporting Danish songstress Agnes Obel.
