About this item

Sonic innovator, human orchestra and musical chameleon Jamie Lidell releases his highly-anticipated new album on Warp Records. It's his most direct and spectacular record yet. The self-titled record represents a distillation of Jamie Lidell's sonic foundations, with the collaborations of 2010's 'Compass' replaced with an approach that is pure and wholly Lidell - eleven tracks further proving his ability to upend expectations of the ways man and machine can make music together. The self-produced album was committed to tape and mixed at Lidell’s newly built studio in his new home in Nashville, the latest stop on a restless journey that has seen him move from his birthplace in the heart of England, through the musical hotbeds of Berlin and New York. The album draws from the rich vein of electro-funk, including Cameo, George Clinton, New Jack Swing and Prince, and is arguably Lidell’s most dynamic work yet.
