Jamie Lidell steps back from his new soulful crooner status to show his electronic roots. This is his banger take on Tiga’s absurd/cornball pop with some heavily distorted beat boxing. Don’t worry he throws in some heavily effected vocoder, Zapp & Roger sounding pentatonic vocal riffing in the middle of the track. I wonder if side of Jamie will be on his new album “Compass” coming out in May via Warp Records.

Wow. This is the music Jamie Lidell was destined to make. He proved himself a master of the crazy electronic world, by crafting his own synth programs in with Max/MSP. Now is fully blossoming into the singer/songwriter that he really is, it is totally understandable why Elton John asked him to open for him this past summer in the UK. This new song “Compass” reminds me of Feist, a common collaborator with Mr. Lidell and Gonzales – especially with the guitars and the production. I really hope that Gonzales is involved with Jamie’s upcoming album.

Warp20 keeps getting better and better – Jamie Lidell has been added as the surprise guest at Le Poisson Rouge and free performances by Hudson Mohawke and Clark. I cannot wait! 🙂

Magistrates are a UK band signed to XL Recordings. They remind me of Phoenix’s pop appeal and musicality with Klaxons’ falsetto vocals with Jamie Lidell’s white boy soul vibe and a touch of Maroon 5’s undeniable catchiness. Let’s wait and see what their album has in store for everyone.

Housse de Racket are a French pop rock duo in the vain of Phoenix meets the whole new Ivy Indie scene of Chester French (Harvard), Vampire Weekend (Columbia) & Hey Champ (Princeton). They are opening for a few Jamie Lidell dates in Europe. Gonzales remixed their single “Oh Yeah” turning it into a track that sounds like a soulful Daft Punk’s “Teachers”.

Jamie Lidell is bringing the heavy funk this time. Prince would be proud. The verse of this track is so tight, that pop of the snare just makes you jump. I dig this track more than that track that Warp Records posted on youtube. Jamie Lidell’s crazy looping program that he uses live to record his beatboxing, harmonies and other crazy vocal parts were all programmed and created by him in Max/Msp. Jonny Greenwood also uses Max/Msp to create custom glitched out guitar effects. The creator of Max/Msp & Cycling 74 is also the same guy that created the Jazzmutant Lemur Pad.
