299 is the solo project of Welsh multi-instrumentalist and producer
Gavin Fitzjohn, who released his dark and cinematic debut album, the twangy, lo-fi
299 Game, in 2021.
A musician and producer who has worked with
Paolo Nutini,
Manic Street Preachers,
Gruff Rhys, and
Stereophonics, among others,
Fitzjohn began operating under the
299 moniker after a sojourn across the American South. Inspired by the dark mythos of the American troubadour and utilizing a deliberate U.S. drawl that evokes names like
Lee Hazlewood and
Tom Waits, he released the sparse and gritty
299 Game in 2021. ~ James Christopher Monger
