Everyone's a DJ in today's world of laptops, wireless internet connection and overfloating music resources. Last friday I went to a club in my old hometown Hyvinkää and my friend and I almost vomited due to the crappy deejaying there. The guy was really GETTING PAID for playing that radio stuff and especially those lousy 'remixes'... Well, maybe that's just why the place is famous for it's cheap beer.
Thank God there are still people who can keep the music in electronic music. James Yuill is a one man miracle with his acoustic guitar, laptop and a sympathetic singing voice. When Yuill's debut 'Turning down water for air' was released in 2008, critics labelled his music as folktronica. The man can really play his guitar and has done gigs ceparately with only acoustic sounds. But you really get the best out of James Yuill with the two elements combined - because he really knows his s**t in deejaying also.
The new album "Movement in a storm" can't really be called folktronica. For example 'Sing me a song' is a song that to me sounds a lot like The Postal Service. But I still wouldn't call it electronic indie pop because Yuill's beats in this new album are so much more danceable. A song with the most loveable video called 'On your own' can point the direction I hope Yuill's music is going to.
But because I really can't find a song that would combine James Yuill's style into one song I will share two. First there's 'No pins allowed' in wich you can see the instruments Yuill is playing and the second is a funny video for 'On your own'.
ENJOY!
