The unique, jazz-influenced electronic music of Leifur James is being collected on his upcoming album ‘A Louder Silence’. This recording is a sampler of the eclectic sounds that combine to form this exciting release. Ranging from heavily electronic pieces with fuzzy synths used to form complex harmonies, to semi-standard vocal-led jazz pieces and experimental free jazz breakdowns. The musicianship is excellent, with the live elements combining so tightly with the synth heavy accompaniment that appears on most tracks to create a release genuinely exciting. It’s rare that a genre mashup so ambitious is so perfect. - Dan Peeke
