Bright eyed, tousle-headed and with a look halfway between penitence and innocence, James Leesley (aka Studio Electrophonique) conjures a sound akin to the dream where Bill Ryder-Jones fronts The Velvet Underground with echoes of Cherry Ghost drifing in there for good measure. Cinematic, melodic, warm – efficient in arrangement yet intricate in detail.
Studio Electrophonique recently performed a live session in Brenda’s fish and chip shop in Sheffield, England. You can see James gently performing “You Had Me Hanging On” to amused and bemused customers below.
Studio Electrophonique’s forthcoming debut album Buxton Palace Hotel will be released on Violette Records on 20th September 2019.
