After two decades behind the scenes working with artists like Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode, and Gorillaz, James Ellis Ford steps into the spotlight with his debut solo album The Hum. A rich, genre-blending work, it channels the eccentric charm of Brian Eno and Robert Wyatt, nods to his family's Palestinian roots, fuses Canterbury prog with modern hip-hop, and drifts through cosmic, Can-inspired grooves. With The Hum, Ford emerges from the background with a bold, personal statement.
