   About richard james

Richard has been in the studio (well, back room really) with Iwan Morgan, aka Recall, once again and has recorded 19 new songs. A single and album are due for release early next year and new songs will be up here as soon as possible.

Seven Sleepers Den press:

“Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci member cuts loose…a solo record that shines brilliantly in its own right” (Mojo)

“slips effortlessly from one perfect noise to another” (Plan B)

“this is a triumph of quiet perseverance: crafted, insidious and, at last, cool.” (The Times)

“The songs ebb and flow in creating an overall sense of happiness and wellbeing. Music for the soul” (Drowned in Sound)

“a sultry charming collection…carefully distilled influences: John Fahey, snatches of Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel and the atmospheric folk of the late 60s” (Uncut)

“Falling in love with a guy like Richard James would be as easy as falling off a log. Ditto his music” (The Times)

Incoming…

THE AUTUMN DEFENSE (two members of WILCO) + PLUSH (Liam Hayes)
Sunday 7th September @ Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff


The Autumn Defense is a collaboration between Wilco/Uncle Tupelo bassist John Stirratt and Wilco multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone who has also produced records for the likes of Andrew Bird and Joseph Arthur. They have released 3 albums of beautifully arranged, organic, wispy folk-rock and singer-songwriter musings.

"Comfort music for the soul...” UNCUT ****
"never less than utterly gorgeous" THE WORD
"reference points include Nick Drake and CSN, Bread, Big Star and the essence of Love, Steely Dan and a dozen others" MOJO ****
"edifying and beautifully textured" DAILY MIRROR ****
"soft rock at it's most elegant." TIME OUT
"Soft, dreamy and bittersweet” WASHINGTON POST
"Warming, gorgeous and delightful” DAVID FRICKE, SENIOR EDITOR, ROLLING STONE


Liam Hayes appeared as himself in High Fidelity and his band Plush's long lost masterpiece 'Fed' is currently receiving rave reviews across the music press including 5/5 in Uncut, 4/5 in Mojo, Q, Plan B, NME 8/10 etc. A regular collaborator, he has also worked with Will Oldham (Bonnie Prince Billy), appearing on keyboards across the Palace era output, and also played on records by Royal Trux.

"Fed is beautifully excessive, ornamented with dazzling soul/pop arrangements. And the songs are glorious..." UNCUT *****
"A banquet of sonic gorgeousness" NME 8/10
"Fed is something of a lost classic" MOJO ****
"Fed can be finally heard as a testament to Hayes's widescreen obsessions" Q ****
"Perfect takes time" PLAN B
“a soulful symphonic masterpiece” ROLLING STONE


A pretty decent amount of superlatives there for just £9 (adv.) Get your tickets from www. clwb. net, Spillers (Cardiff) or Diverse (Newport)
