about

Leifur James released his debut album in October 2018 through Late Night Tales’ artist label Night Time Stories.

‘A Louder Silence' is the London-based composer and producer’s first full length release, a recording process which was over a 2 year period. The album attracted immediate support from Pitchfork, KEXP, XLR8R, KCRW, Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM, BBC Radio 6 Music DJs, Electronic Sound 9/10, Mixmag 8/10, Future Music UK Album of the Month 9/10.

Leifur’s rich musical influences are laced through the release. Encouraged by his mother, a classically trained pianist, he learned to play the cello in his youth, developing a deep understanding of rhythm and melody that informs his approach to writing electronic music. Leifur plays the piano he grew up listening to in “Mumma Don’t Tell” and samples an indefinable percussive element to drive forward “Suns Of Gold.” “Night and Day” sees cello plucks and long melodic strokes interlink with a grooving synth line. Central to the album is the idea of space. Moments of organic, structured intensity are juxtaposed with stillness and near silence — dark and light; loud and quiet. This also forms the foundation for the album title: A Louder Silence.

Pitchfork best new music: 'Argonaut'
Electronic Sound 9/10
Future Music Uk Album of the month 9/10
Mixmag 8/10
XLR8R "A fascinating and shapeshifting debut"

Wurlitzer’ is the first piece of music he reveals from a new creative period following A Louder SIlence. The video was created by animator/director Balázs Simon, premiering on Boiler Room and has been nominated for the BMVA Berlin Music Video Awards in the experimental music category, airing at the British Film Institute BFI Southbank, London. The result is ravishing 4 minutes of piano-fused electronica haunted by ecological currents.
