TM Juke's 'Electric Chair EP' hooks you in from the start.
Loaded with the characteristically beautiful yet quirky
compositions and production, for which TM Juke (aka Alex
Cowan) has become known, and brilliant variety, from
pared-down bluesy soul to blissful downtempo electronica
via the upbeat dancefloor-oriented Zumen Remix of 'Come
Away'. The inspired collaborations on this 12" continue
with additions from Elmore Judd, Alice Russell and Windham
Earl.
The first track is the atmopheric 'My World Is Empty
Without You' featuring the vocals of Alice Russell. This
bluesy tale of longing could have been written bespoke for
the depth and expression of Alice's amazing voice, with
stripped down guitars and snare as accompaniment - its
simplicity is the perfect example of TM Juke's sensitivity
and deftness of touch, and a complement to the 1970s
original.
The title track, 'Electric Chair' featuring Elmore Judd
(taken from the acclaimed TM Juke album 'forward'), is
classic, glorious TM Jue twisted soul. The soulful vocals
and additional keys come from London-based Elmore Judd
(EMI), aka Jesse Hackett, a keyboard player who has
previously orked with the likes of Barrington Levy, Ms.
Dynamite and Finley Quaye. The exclusive instrumental
version follows.
The Zumen (Raw Fusion) remix of 'Come Away' is another
previously unreleased track, upping the tempo of this EP
and guaranteed to get bodies moving on the dancefloor.
'Pencils for Dolphins (Wyndham Earl Mix)' is as
idiosyncratic as the title suggests and wraps this EP up
in style. Opening with a catchy hook, the air of summery
innocence about this instrumental track could brighten the
gloomiest of days.
