Jamie Lidell – The Ring

Watch the remarkable new video...

Electronic guru to soul man. Anal sonic engineer to consummate showman.

Jamie Lidell has shifted boundaries, moved from style to style. On his new album ‘Compass’ the producer comes closer than ever to defining his multi-faceted sound, to pinning his ideas down onto one disc.

Taking on board the visceral thrill of his live show, ‘Compass’ nonetheless contains some his most commercial songwriting to date. The Jackson 5 remixed by Autechre, the album is perhaps his most definitive ‘Jamie Lidell’ statement to date.

Released on May 17th, the album is due to be preceded by ‘The Ring’. A glistening single, it has been given a typically bizarre video by Jamie Lidell.

Anyone who’s witnessed one of his promos before knows what to expect – utterly bizarre, it is simply impossible to take yours eyes away from it.
