Spanning 11 tracks, Angel In Disguise delivers a masterful blend of harmonic vocals from James himself, nuanced electronic soundscapes and vibrant modular-based percussion. Darker and more club-ready, Angel In Disguise marks the plates beneath James shifting, moving farther afield from his jazz-inspired productions, as he embraces his love of UK Techno, bass music and experimental instrumentals. His first foray into the electronic realm that demonstrates an exciting musical progression into left-leaning music, since it’s announcement earlier this year and the release of earlier singles ‘AAID’, ‘Ritual’ and title track ‘Angel In Disguise’, the project has seen support from the likes of CRACK, Mixmag, DJ Mag, Boiler Room 4:3, The Wire, and more. Combining machine sounds, piano lines, and ethereal elements to get lost in, Leifur James’ unique take on electronica and deep techno blends his classically-trained musicality with ticking percussion, dark synths, and swirling melodies giving a moving sense of ruminating, traveling backward in time.
