"(No Surprise)...is quite wonderful."
Pop Justice - Song Of The Day
"An early highlight-of-the-year. Fuses sweet and innocent acoustic melodies with some darkly introspective electronic magic. investigate now."
Zoo Magazine - Top Ten Tracks To Download
"Even though we're now all thoroughly au fait with the idea of beats and digital bleeps mixing it with indie songcraft, Yuill has pushed it further, pressing into service both something of Justice's bolshy bottom end and Yazoo's plinky melodicism by way of Hot Chip."
Timeout Single Review
"James Yuill is like Nick Drake if he were still alive and signed to Warp Records."
The Young & Lost Club

Hello...I'm a 26 year old singer/songwriter currently residing in London. Turning Down Water For Air is my second album after self releasing my debut entitled The Vanilla Disc in 2005.
I guess my sound is commonly referred to as ‘Folktronica’. A combination of Folk and Electronica…(obviously). Something like The Postal Service, although I want to try to combine the harder side of dance. I'm a big fan of French electro, so I try my best to bust that together with a bit of Nick Drake.
Shortly after finishing my second album, a family trip to Spain saw the loss of all my work, as laptop and backup were stolen. Thankfully the master copy was on my desk back in Blighty, which is the only reminder of 6 months of evening and weekend sessions in my bedroom. Recording, mixing and mastering what you hear now.
Here's what some of my friends and peers have said about me: (for unbias opinions visit my press section)
 
"James' music is the music that will be playing in your head when you leave your house without any pants on." - Clue To Kalo

"James Yuill's new record is terrific - seriously strong songwriting with enough fresh production to make it pleasingly off-kilter. I prefer his stuff to pretty much anyone across the Scott Matthews-to-Get Cape diaspora, he's closer to true folktronica." - Chris T T

"I think...he is...going to achieve world domination." - Psapp

"His MySpace name has yellow in it...like the sun...which is so hot right now" -Rauiri @ eARmusic

"James Yuill is definitely the talk of the town...and I should know something about that....as I talk....and I live in a town." - Smoke Feathers

"James Yuill’s new record "Turning Down Water for Air" it’s like eating a delicious folk sandwich on electronic bread. It renders musical pudding completely superfluous." - Sam Kirk
