The debut single, No Surprise, from London-based and critically acclaimed singer/songwriter James Yuill, is out today on iTunes, along with four remixes of the track as an added bonus. Yuill, who creates indie folk tunes with electronic elements, is quickly becoming an influential part of London’s popular “folktronica” scene. His full-length North American debut, Turning Down Water For Air, will be released this spring.
Since the UK release of Turning Down Water For Air this past October 2008 on UK independent label Moshi Moshi Records (Bloc Party, Hot Chip, Au Revoir Simone), Yuill has garnered a huge amount of critical attention, including features in NME, Dazed and Confused and Clash Magazine, who featured him as “Best Newcomer 2008.”
Yuill is also a sought-after remixer, who has worked with artists like Au Revoir Simone, Tilly and the Wall, David Holmes, and fellow folktronica artist Rod Thomas, as well as some up-and-coming UK artists.
