Jamie Lidell debuts video for “Capture The Moon”

Jamie Lidell, has shared a video for new single “Capture The Moon.” The track is off his his forthcoming LP Places of Unknowing, out July 18 via TODO. The album is a complete departure from everything he’s done before–working with musicians Rob Berger & Pascal LeBoef, Jamie’s new sound verges on neoclassical with various parts of his history shining through. Jamie explains: “The piano explores the world afterwards. Before is a story of love that was always transactional. The voice, rather than cowering to the realization, stands in defiance with a little hope for those that can relate.” Album singles ” How Do I Land” and “The Center.”

Throughout his career, Lidell has opened Prince, James Brown and Bjork to that of a nameless, faceless techno producer in his Super_Collider days. This album is Jamie reflecting on his past, drawing inspiration from various stages of his career and the results are a reflective, grown up Jamie wrapped up in a full orchestral piece. He’s performed in art spaces, rave dungeons and the biggest stages in the world in a whirlwind of creativity. But since relocating to Nashville and starting a family, he’s experienced isolation, introspection, being brought face-to-face with his own neurodivergence, and has had to completely reassess his relationship to himself, his history, his music and creative processes. And now all of that is expressed in Places of Unknowing, his first album in nearly a decade.

Places of Unknowing is Lidell’s first full-length release since 2016’s Building a Beginning. During COVID lockdown, Jamie took it on himself to learn piano for the first time, and began recording some lyrics written by his wife, Lindsey. Singing some else’s words – albeit someone he felt a deep responsibility to – and having an entirely new musical palette to draw from was immensely refreshing.
