Leifur James - A Louder Silence '2018

Tracks list

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.
