James Ellis Ford Announces New Album Lost In Another World: Hear “Overtones”

The UK artist and producer James Ellis Ford recorded an entire solo album in the hospital last year, when he was in between rounds of chemotherapy. Ford, known to most of us as just plain James Ford, used to be half of Simian Mobile Disco, and he has produced hugely consequential records for people like Arctic Monkeys, Florence + The Machine, Fontaines D.C., Jessie Ware, Geese, and Gorillaz.

Later this summer, he'll release Lost In Another World
