London based musician and producer Leifur James’ debut album ‘A Louder Silence’ is a soulful jazz journey through space and time. It is an engaging and masterful display of musicianship. Tracks ‘Suns of Gold’ and ‘Mumma Don’t Tell’ display James’ understated sultry vocals and smokey basement bar piano and strings, echoing the sounds of the classic era.

‘Uncle Blue’ draws you in with its guitar hooks, then the percussion and bass. ‘Night & Day’ teases with its electro beat. ‘Salanium’ jumps out to you with its North African strings and lilting vocals.

The entire album is an odyssey for the senses.
