Welsh Rich Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 A nice interview with Jamie Lidell in the Guardian today... Jamie Lidell steps off the tourbus in Bordeaux wearing laceless brogues and an oversized but stylish coat. White, British and rather sleepy looking, he does not look like someone about to release what he hopes will be one of the biggest soul albums of 2008. Then he disappears for a minute, only to return sporting a denim suit and white Chelsea boots. His energy levels have increased tenfold and he's soon dancing around the tabletops at the merest prompt from a photographer. But Lidell is prone to transformation. He describes himself, in a cafe across the road a little later, as "a whirlwind of schizophrenia", which is one way of describing a musician who came to attention making experimental electronic music for the Warp label as one half of Super_Collider in the late 1990s, but who abruptly transmogrified into a gold-lam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ms. yvon Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 thanks, rich! i've been hearing his name around but had no idea what his music was like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 LOVE both his new record and Multiply, hoping this tour w/ a full band is a lot better than the solo laptop gig i saw a couple years ago though... that was really cheesey and karoake-ish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
