Description
James Ellis Ford - The Hum
James Ellis Ford has been hidden in plain sight for his entire two-
decade-long career. The composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer
and songwriter has worked with some of the biggest names in
music, from Arctic Monkeys to Depeche Mode via Foals, Gorillaz
and Kylie Minogue and as part of Simian Mobile Disco and The Last
Shadow Puppets’ touring band. This year he takes centre stage with
a bewitching debut solo album “The Hum”. It is as much a homage
to the tender and eccentric English pop music of Brian Eno and
Robert Wyatt as it is love letter to his wife and son’s Palestinian
roots; as much exploration of the pastoral verve of Canterbury prog
as it is informed by the dynamics of modern hip-hop production; as
much a madcap Radiophonic voyage into the cosmic unknown
peppered with Can-like grooves. With ‘The Hum’, James Ellis Ford
has finally come out of hiding.
