Yellowire - Starlife

Yellowire is Ol Beach, whose dad, Jim Beach, has been Queen's manager since 1978.  Currently tipped as one to watch, his album, Machines on Fire, will be released on 15th August.

There are a few songs from the album out there already.  One, Where Is The Summer, is a question I've been asking for some time now. 

I think this guy is definitely worth watching,  although I'm not sure whether this Coldplay crossed with Moby song will take the world by storm.  There isn't much real information out there about him either (much on the website seems to waffle on about a mysterious masseur!) but the video for Starlife looks good.  http://vimeo.com/yellowire/yellowire-starlife-video It was directed by Marcus Lyall and conceptualised by graphic artist Jimmy Turrell.  Despite appearances, it wasn't created with special effects. Instead over 60,000 individual frames were involved using a number of screen printing techniques. Each frame was then photographed and put together into video format.  (Well, believe me it's certainly more interesting than the masseuse story!)
