Electronic troubadour James Yuill is to return with his second album on June 21st.
Some artists focus on pastoral songwriting, others focus on experimental electronic. Poles apart? Don’t be so sure.
James Yuill is a London songwriter whose debut album ‘Turning Down Water For Air’ proved that the acoustic guitar and the laptop are nothing but the same thing. Signed to Moshi Moshi, his blend of electronics and lilting songcraft turned the London singer into a cult sensation.
Since then, James Yuill has toured continually whilst also becoming a notable remixer. Taking time out to focus on his own music, the songwriter re-worked several tracks into the ‘Earth / Fire’ EPs last year.
Showcasing the two separate aspects to his songwriting, it allowed the London star to focus on his musical technique. Inspired, it seems that James Yuill went straight back into the studio to complete his second album.
Due for release on May 21st, ‘Movement In A Storm’ is a stunning return from James Yuill. Issuing a statement to fans, the London singer seemed to be delighted with the results of recent recording sessions.
“I’m so excited about the new album” he revealed. “Like all artists know It’s a great (and frightening) feeling to issue new material out into the public domain.”
“I’ve tried to maintain the acoustic elements of the last record whilst advancing the electronic production. For example there are tracks that range from dance and glitchy electronica right the way through to an acoustic guitar instrumental. I hope people like it. “
James Yuill is set to release ‘Movement In A Storm’ on May 12th. Grab a preview track from the album HERE.
