Description
It’s taken James Ellis Ford twenty plus years in the A game to release his debut solo record. In these years he’s become possibly the go to producer for anyone from Blur to Depeche Mode to Kylie to Gorillaz to Foals to Arctic Monkeys. He’s also a Simian Mobile Disco, a Last Shadow Puppet, an Eno protege and inadvertently responsible for the epoch defining mid noughties anthem We Are Your Friends. It would have been easy for him to have made a celeb heavy, zeitgeist grabbing debut, instead, The Hum, released on Warp, is a dense, widescreen ode to pastoral prog, 70s fusion, King Crimson and so much more. James chats with Paul about finding his confidence, the method he absorbed from Eno that go beyond the technical and the enigmatic eccentricity of English music.James Ellis Ford’s album The Hum is available now on Warp Records. Lost and Sound is proudly sponsored by Audio-TechnicaPaul’s debut book, Coming To Berlin: Global Journeys Into An Electronic Music And Club Culture Capital is out now on Velocity Press.
