Description

A panorama of vocals drifting over a densely processed terrain of mud-caked percussion and guitar, Leafcutter John’s new solo album, Resurrection, is a characteristically unique blend of the electronic and the acoustic, the hi-tech, the human and the homemade. Resurrection is the sixth Leafcutter John album and his first solo release since 2006’s The Forest and The Sea CD / LP (Staubgold). In the intervening nine years, John has toured from Vietnam to Venice, appeared live with Beck Hansen and Imogen Heap, and provided the score for Crow, a major theater project by Handspring (creators of War Horse). During this time, John has also maintained his permanent role as the unpredictable, electronic antagonist in Polar Bear, the twice-Mercury-Music-Prize-nominated, genre-defying jazz band.
