Jamie Lidell

Singer, songwriter, and producer Jamie Lidell has a varied body of work that encompasses -- and sometimes synthesizes -- unorthodox electronic music and traditional R&B. The British musician came to notice in the late '90s as one-half of Super_Collider before he made his full-length solo debut with Muddlin Gear (2000). Whereas that album veered from IDM at its most abstract to heartfelt doo wop, Lidell's next two LPs, Multiply (2005) and Jim (2008), saw him fully indulge his love for vintage soul and funk while putting his voice, ranging from grainy baritone to sugary falsetto, to full use. He teamed with Beck for the heady and at times bristly Compass (2010), and confounded expectations again with eccentric electro-funk jams in the form of Jamie Lidell (2013), before he parted ways with longtime label Warp. After he self-released the comparatively organic throwback soul set Building a Beginning (2016), Lidell launched the long-running podcast Hanging Out with Audiophiles and took part in numerous one-off collaborations. In 2025, he teamed with Hainbach and Ayjay Nils for the ambient Nagroni and released the piano-based Places of Unknowing, the lyrics of which were written by Lindsey Rome, his wife and longtime collaborator.Lidell, who was born and raised in Cambridgeshire, started recording in the mid '90s as one-third of the techno production trio Subhead. When he fell under the spell of tracks released by Cristian Vogel, he tracked the producer down in Brighton and discovered that the admiration was mutual, leading to their formation of Super_Collider. As part of the Trash collective, Lidell contributed two solo productions to the 1997 Mille Plateaux compilation Industrialsamplecoregouchbeat, after which Super_Collider appeared with "Darn (Cold Way O' Lovin')" and the subsequenly parent LP Head On. In 2000, newly signed to Warp, Lidell delivered his first solo album, Muddlin Gear. Within two years, Lidell and Vogel were back with Raw Digits, its title signifying the painstaking measures the duo continued to take with their material, but Lidell began to take a more organic direction on his own with 2005's Multiply and 2008's Jim, albums he co-produced with fellow musician Mocky. Lidell returned at the dawn of the next decade with Compass, made with the likes of Beck, Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear), and Pat Sansone (Wilco), as well as Feist, Nikka Costa, and legendary drummer James Gadson. "Compass" itself, a rather spacy folk-blues epic, later appeared in the soundtrack for the video game Red Dead Redemption. In 2012, Lidell wrote and sang on a track for Simian Mobile Disco's Unpatterns album and moved to Nashville. Lidell built his own studio and used it to record his final album for Warp, Jamie Lidell, which saw release early the following year. His sixth album, Building a Beginning, arrived in 2016 on his own Jajulin label and boasted instrumentation from Pino Palladino, Daru Jones, and Chris Bruce, among many other noted players. Amid a slew of primarily dancefloor-oriented collaborative recordings with Mark Hawkins, RAC, Lorenz Rhode, and Flux Pavilion, Lidell issued the occasional solo track over the next nine years, and during the same period recorded well over 100 episodes of Hanging Out with Audiophiles, a podcast of discussions with assorted musical figures such as Nigel Godrich, Carl Craig, and Suzanne Ciani. Nagroni, a half-hour of atmospheric material Lidell wrote and recorded with Hainbach and Ayjay Nils, appeared at the tail end of 2024. Early the next year, Lidell released "The Center" and "How Do I Land," preview ballads from his seventh proper solo album, made in close collaboration with wife Lindsey Rome, who had contributed everything from art and design to production input on several of his previous studio projects.
