2009 is here and we have a nice start for it (for you): Young Londoner JAMES YUILL has definetly done one of the top albums 2008. "turning down water for air" mixes the folky melancholy breeziness of Nick Drake with the electronic playfullness of Hot Chip. And still you can dance to it! Imagine a very talented guy - high on candy - locked in his mother's bedroom with a guitar and a laptop, playing around with sweet and innocent acoustic melodies and adding some darkly introspective electronic magic. He is signed on Übercool pop-label Moshi Moshi and together with [...]

Eindelijk is hij daar dan (iets later dan normaal), de Feestelijke Vijftig van 2008 . En er valt iets te vieren, want het is de vijfde alweer in deze hoedanigheid en het is, als we zo bescheiden mogen zijn weer een fijne lijst geworden! De fijne leukste, beste en mooiste, gratis te downloaden songs van dit jaar in de enige juiste volgorde! 50. Telefon Tel Aviv - Helen Of Troy ( mp3 ) (Album: Immolate Yourself) Het uit [...]

Moshi Moshi Records has been preaching to us about folktronica master James Yuill for many months now but it wasn't until his performance at last night's Moshi/Wichita Christmas party that I realised just how awesome he really is. His debut album Turning Down Water for Air was released on October 13th and according to Moshi Moshi, it "fuses sweet and innocent acoustic melodies with some darkly introspective electronic magic." That's a pretty accurate description and predictably almost everyone seems to be labeling him the new Postal Service . However, there's more to [...]
91. Funeral For A Friend ‘Memory And Humanity’ (Join Us) – Does anybody actually care anymore? 90. Mogwai ‘The Hawk Is Howling’ (Wall Of Sound) – Decent comeback record from Scotland’s post-rock posse. 89. White Denim ‘Workout Holiday’ (Full Time Hobby) – Alright but it’s a bit self-indulgent at times. 88. The Streets ‘Everything Is Borrowed’ (The Beats) – Not a bad record but Skinner’s genius goes missing at points. 87. Cage The Elephant ‘Cage The Elephant’ (Relentless) – [...]

Sinatra har gjort det. Parton har gjort det. Nu är det dags för James Yuill att göra det. Spela in en egen version av den klassiska Winter Wonderland från 1934. Låten färgas mer av James folk-electro, än av julens röda färger. Ladda ner här !

Another sunday and another post on James Yuill , he's remixed the track "Holy Pictures" from Belfast producer David Holmes and it's turned into a sweet folktronica jam. The single is released tomorrow. David Holmes - Holy Pictures (James Yuill remix) (YSI) David Holmes - Holy Pictures (James Yuill remix) (Sharebee)
Our first remix of the day comes courtesy of "folk-tronica [whizzkid]" James Yuill . He takes David Holmes' singing on "Holy Pictures," highlights its elaborate and strained breathing, and puts the lines on repeat. Chill synth movements and subtle percussion keep the ditty moving without making it obnoxious in the least. David Holmes - "Holy Pictures (James Yuill Remix)" (Y.S.I.)

James Yuill è un cantautore talmente sfigato che la sua voce su wikipedia ha solo un paio di righe. «James Yuill è un musicista folktronico inglese che viene da Londra, e che incide dischi per la Moshi Moshi» [ # ] Esauriente, non c'è che dire. Eppure Yuill è di Londra, terra nota per celebrare ogni promessa musicale come la next big thing ancora prima che questa abbia pubblicato alcunchè. Per giunta è arrivato già al secondo disco -uscito già da un paio di mesi- e online le recensioni (tutte [...]

This post wouldn't be here without Jeff doing the post on Rod a while back so this one's for him! It just so turns out Rod Thomas is a very lovely man who emailed me saying he had read the blog and asked if I'd be interested in posting a song, I said why not go the whole hog and do a Q+A! What a gentleman. So Rod, how did it all start? Well, I used to write and record in my room when I was a teenager (I [...]

James Yuill is becoming a staple here on Discobelle, we especially like how he manages to combine a softer, almost folky acoustic driven sound with electronic beats. James recently remixed Rod Thomas's single "Same Old Lines" and here Rod returns the favour. James' debut album "Turning Down Water For Air" is out now on Moshi Moshi .

Well, this is quite the Osar-category i know, but it's just a way for me to talk about 10 artists that i like, but just don't seem to fit in the top 50-list that is coming up after this post. (well, not immediately after it, somewhere this week). The albums of these people have their flaws, but they are promising enough to make me look forward excitedly to when they release their next album. So, without no further ado, here they are. DISCLAIMER: ok, first add this. The songs I add aren't necessarily my favourite of [...]

Ahhh, Yuill! I just recently stumbled upon this gem from James Yuill and had to instantly grab his CD Turning Down Water For Air , which is a poppy, beat filled, electro-acoustic, record that will put the shuffle in your shoes. Check out the crunchy, funked out track called "No Pins Allowed" in the video above. It's great to hear a refreshing new mesh of folktronica. "No Surprise" is streamable below... No Surprise

Bangladeshi tunes is hot right now, as our friends over at Discodust tell us, and this tune from Muffy is no exception. Santogold in afterhours mode...
