Lyrics from I Don't Know I Know

Jonquil was formed in Oxford by brainchild Hugo Manuel, who is a multi-instrumentalist, and singer-songwriter. The band was Manuel’s go at developing what was initially a bedroom-recording project. After several member changes, Jonquil’s current lineup consists of Sam Scott (Trumpet, Bass), Robin McDiarmid (Guitar), Dominic Hand (Drums), and Hugo Manuel (Keys, Vocals). Jonquil released their debut album, Sunny Casinos, in 2006, followed by Lions (2007), Whistle Low EP (2008), the eight-track mini LP One Hundred Suns (2010), and most recently Point Of Go, released in March 2012. The band has drawn comparisons to Vampire Weekend, Foals, and even Manuel’s solo moniker Chad Valley. They’ve toured extensively throughout the UK and Europe, supporting acts such as, Bombay Bicycle Club, Foals, and The Morning Benders.
