James Yuill has announced details of a new video for his forthcoming single 'Turn Yourself Around' and has also announced a new headline show at London's Corsica Studios on 16th May 2013. 'Turn Yourself Around' is the first single to be taken from James' forthcoming third album, 'These Spirits', both of which will be released on 25th March.
'Turn Yourself Around' is about changing your outlook while its accompanying video finds its protagonist in need of such advice as he struggles with a seemingly futile task in the blistering heat. The video takes its inspiration from Greek mythology’s story of Sisyphus.
Musically the track is a slight change of approach for James; here he has embraced a more extrovert style. Crystal clear vocals ring out over sharp synths building to an exuberant finish. Whereas on previous albums Yuill’s sound has been that of folk quietly and modestly underpinned by electronics, here he unashamedly turns the synths up, channelling the restraint and simple melodies of Chicago house with the radio friendly mechanisms of Hot Chip and New Order.
James will play another London headline show at Corsica Studios on 16th May 2013 to follow on from his show at the Sebright Arms on Monday (4th March) which is sold out. Tickets for Corsica Studios go on general sale on Friday 1st March. For further information head to www.jamesyuill.com.
