James Ellis Ford (Simian Mobile Disco & The Last Shadow Puppets) 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, but has always dedicated himself to the success of these projects almost to the point of self-erasure. He alone has crafted one of the most bewitching and persuasive albums of 2023. The ten tracks are as much homage to the tender and eccentric English pop music of Brian Eno and Robert Wyatt as it is love letter to his wife and sons Palestinian roots. With The Hum, James Ellis Ford has finally come out of hiding. A1. Tape Loop #7 A2. Pillow Village A3. I Never Wanted Anything A4. Squeaky Wheel A5. The Yips B1. Golden Hour B2. The Hum B3.
