YUILL, JAMES
no pins allowed
Release Date: 21/07/2008
limited to 600 copies. still basking in the warm glow of love for his debut chess club single 'no surprise', james yuill returns with 'no pins allowed', his first release on the esteemed moshi moshi label. 'no surprise' clearly marked james yuill as a talent on the rise. like many music lovers of his generation james yuill has a passion for both the emotional songwriting and atmospheres of artists such as nick drake, radiohead and sufjan stevens and the visceral beats and dynamic rhythms of justice, chemical brothers and aphex twin. unlike anyone else however, james has fused these seemingly disparate influences into a magical sound of his very own, something that didn't go un-noticed by radio, with djs including huw stephens, colin murray and john kennedy all championing him on air. 'no pins allowed' is james yuill at his masterful best. combining tightly worked songwriting with some caustic beat science, this is a sonically challenging yet emotionally engaging song that provides the perfect appetiser for james's forthcoming album. also included on the package are a cover of radiohead's 'packt like sardines in a crushd tin box' - a live favourite - and the sparse and delicate 'breathing in'.
