Caught Jamie Lidell at Koko recently touring his new album Jim. He has a band now and though we didn’t recognise many of the new tunes it feels a more organice soulful progression from his previous works.

The highlight though was when it was him on stage with some gear, sampling himself and messing about with it to build layers. It sounds a well put together album and a pretty polished show, a few of the tracks have a definite crossover potential.
