"The seaside theme is there in my music. All that world means a lot to landlocked Sheffield – it’s all a bit seedy, but a creative outlet"

Sahar Ghadirian speaks to James Leesley, aka Studio Electrophonique, ahead of his debut album release this Friday ⬇️

Studio Electrophonique - “There’s this sensitive, emotional side that’s very Sheffield – but it has to be balanced with a joke”

From Handsworth to Paris, Studio Electrophonique’s debut album chronicles a journey of coincidences as steeped in magic as the songs themselves.

““Cyntaf i’r Felin” literally translates as ‘first to the mill’, but it’s a Welsh idiom that means ‘early bird catches the worm’, or ‘first come, first served’"
