About James Joys
James Joys works in translating slip into rhythm. He makes music that occupies the terrifying, vespertine cleft between sleep and wakefulness; that fleeting realm when time slips from its spools and allows the polyglottal babbling of bilious humors to creep in. Unsettling and seductive, it is the moment that oscillates between clasp and grasp, the calling card of the trickster whose gait harbours an elliptical swing, a nagging lack...a laggard knack. James Joys released his debut album 'Glyphic Bloom' in May 2013 as a limited run of 200 vinyls featuring a handmade booklet of writing and artwork. His second, an album recorded with singer Pete Devlin, is due at the end of 2013. Born in Belfast, he came over to Newcastle upon Tyne in the belly of a seacat, and currently resides in Bristol. http://jamesjoys.bandcamp.com http://jamesjoys.tumblr.com Twitter: @jamesjoys
