If for some, the debut album can be a weight on strained shoulders compared to off the cuff single tracks and relatively short, sharp bursts of creativity experienced during an artist’s fledgling beginnings, then Berlin-based British producer James Welch aka Seams seems to carry his own first full-length easily. ‘Quarters’, out 16th September 2013, is a record that flows with a lucid fluidity, taking on a more overtly beat-driven stance than previous EPs Tourist and Sleeper (put together last year for a double-release,) but retaining a lightness of touch that allows the material to lift up and outwards from its scuttling rhythms.[info from label]
