Funky and full of soul, or soulful and full of funk . . . either way, Jamie Lidell will be at The Grog Shop in Cleveland on September 10th.
Review of his latest album, Compass: “a neo-psychedelic ode, planting romantic avowals amid arid textures.” - New York Times
"elegantly warped love songs...(a) blend of creamy come-ons and fuzzy beats" - Rolling Stone
"A beautifully mixed bag...impassioned and lushly arranged" - Esquire
"It's quite a ride' - Uncut 4/5
“Jamie Lidell has shifted boundaries, moved from style to style. On his new album 'Compass' the producer comes closer than ever to defining his multi-faceted sound, to pinning his ideas down onto one disc.” - Clash
'Lidell's previous albums have tried to reconcile his two loves; electronica and classic soul. On Compass, the globe wandering Englishman might have squared the circle' - Uncut
'A welcome return' - The Guardian
“We’re honoured to hear something as soulful, electically energised, energetic and accessible as this.” 10/10 - iDJ

Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band are set to release "One of My Kind" on April 15th, a documentary that will give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the band’s journey over the past year and a half. Made by the band’s guitar-tech Phil Schaffart and presented by causecast.org, "One of My Kind" traces the group’s ever-growing bond as friends and collaborators. Footage from Tepoztlan, Mexico, where they recorded their first album, Conor Oberst, their worldwide tour in 2008, and the making of Outer South in El Paso, TX takes viewers on a 60-minute musical journey around the world.
The film will be available as a free stream or HD download exclusively on Causecast.org, IFC.com, conoroberst.com, mergerecords.com, and wichita-recordings.com. Additionally, Causecast.org partner sites IFC.com, The Huffington Post and Myspace IMPACT will each feature exclusive outtakes, trailers and live acoustic performances from the film.
