Will Varley - Machines Will Never Learn To Make Mistakes Like Me (2025)

English Channel, singer-songwriter Will Varley is putting the finishing touches to his new record Machines Will Never Learn To Mistakes Like Me. Over the course of his career, he has mastered the kind of evocative song writing that can transport you to another place entirely. In the case of his astonishing new album, he continues his decade long exploration of the human condition, while conjuring strange, beautiful landscapes. Landscapes where salt-crusted pebbles crunch underfoot and snow pours in through the roofs of abandoned tour busses. Where vast iron structures rear up from wild waves to meet a grey, endless sky.

Varley is something of an undiscovered star, despite earning the adoration of some of his most well know peers and the devotion of an army of fans. Since his earliest days playing candle lit open mics in south London aged just 14, he has gone on to sell out headline shows in both the US and the UK – performing in many prestigious venues such as the Royal Albert Hall and Shepherds Bush Empire – and achieved more than 30 million combined streams on Spotify. Numerous tours in the US and Europe have helped spread his music across the globe, along with stints frequenting Nashville’s hallowed writing rooms, working with the likes of Jeff Silbar (Wind Beneath My Wings) and Eagle Eye Cherry to name a few. Features on albums by: Bastille, Billy Bragg und Eleni Drake.
