James Yuill New Single "No Pins Allowed" Out Today On iTunes!

“This debut album has Yuill attempting to fuse acoustic folk with Italo disco and aggressive techno... it works brilliantly.” -- NME

“James’s sound is akin to a heavenly collaboration between Kings Of Convenience, Dan Deacon & David Byrne.” – The Music Slut

Following the release of debut hit single “No Surprise” last month, London-based folktronica pioneer James Yuill releases his second single, “No Pins Allowed,” today via iTunes as part of a 6-track EP that also includes a remix from Post War Years and a cover of Radiohead’s “Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box.” (Full track listing below.)

Yuill will release his debut album, Turning Down Water For Air, in North America on May 26. Turning Down Water For Air is a brilliant fusion of Yuill’s many influences, from the emotional songwriting of artists like Nick Drake, Radiohead and Sufjan Stevens to the dynamic beats of Justice, Chemical Brothers and Aphex Twins. With his debut album, Yuill has managed to create a sound of his very own.

Musical director of KCRW and host of the influential radio program Morning Becomes Eclectic Jason Bentley has been playing Yuill’s first single, “No Surprise,” regularly, and invited him to take part in “RadioActive: A Dance Party For KCRW” this past Saturday, April 11 at the Legendary Park Plaza in downtown LA. Yuill also played to crowded rooms in New York City, Brooklyn, and Echo Park over the course of 6 hectic days in the US.
