An aesthetically driven artist dedicated to marrying powerful visual backdrops with sonic explorations, James began his collaboration with Hungarian director, Balázs Simon; producing the critically acclaimed, ‘Wurlitzer’ project in March 2019, seeing widespread support from the likes of Boiler Room, CLASH, the BFI, Directors’ Notes, Motionographer, the UK and Berlin Music Video Awards, the London Short Film Festival, Dublin International Film Festival and more.
Performing to a sold out Barbican Hall, London at the start of 2019; followed by a headline European tour including sell out shows at Amsterdam Paradiso, the London Southbank Centre, and playing a number of tastemaker festivals in the summer, Leifur James will launch Angel In Disguise in intimate venues across Europe in March 2021, preceding further showcases in the autumn.
Den eksperimenterende producer og komponist Leifur James fra London vender tilbage med sit andet album 'Angel in Disguise', der udkom tilbage i april måned via Late Night Tales' søsterlabel Night Time Stories. 'Angel in Disguise' er et elektronisk styret opus, der udforsker temaer som kærlighed og tab gennem en mesterlig blanding af harmonisk vokal, nuancerede elektroniske soundscapes og vibrerende trømmemønstre - afbrudt af skræddersyet visuals fra Balázs Simon.
Nyheden kommer efter nogle fantastiske år for artisten. I 2018 udkom debutalbummet 'A Louder Silence', som blev fulgt op med en remix-EP med upcoming elektroniske talenter som Bruce, FaltyDL og Whities-produceren Coby Sey. Projektet fangede bl.a. interesse hos vigtige medier som Resident Advisor, Pitchfork, Mixmag, Electronic Sound Magazine og Future Music UK.
Drevet af hans æstetiske sans teamede James op med den ungarske instruktør Balázs Simon for at sammensmelte hans soniske udforskninger med kraftfulde, visuelle baggrunde. Musikvideoen 'Wurlitzer' fik bl.a. omtale hos Boiler Room, Clash Magazine, BFI, Directors Notes, Motionographer, Berlin Music Video Awards, London Short Film Festival og mange flere.
2019 bød på udsolgte shows på Barbican Hall, Paradiso Amsterdam og London Southbank Centre. Albummet 'Angel in Disguise' bringer ham forbi en række intime europæiske spillesteder i 2021.
