”“★λ★”“ V Čechách usazený Brit James Harries vydává originální edici EP. Pětice skladeb vznikala v Čechách, na Slovensku, Irsku i Anglii.
”“★λ★”“ James Harries, jehož singl Salvation se držel na předních příčkách hitparád, oznámil svým příznivcům vznik nového repertoáru novinkou Lights v produkci Viliama Béreše. “Po mé poměrně vyčerpávající práci na poslední desce Until the Sky Bends Down jsem si téměř říkal, že už další album nevznikne. Na turné k ní jsem strávil dva roky, sjezdil jsme Británii, Německo, Nizozemí, Polsko, Rakousko a samozřejmě i Českou republiku. Ale při spolupráci s talentovanými kolegy vzniká cosi magického a neskutečně lákavého,” říká britský písničkář.
”“★λ★”“ Harriese sice často uvidíte na pódiu coby sólo hudebníka, během posledních let však kolem sebe shromáždil skupinu vynikajících muzikantů, kteří ho inspirovali k další tvorbě. Ať už je to bubeník Jan Janečka (Jan P. Muchow), kytarista Josef Štěpánek (Radůza), baskytarista Jakub Vejnar (Aneta Langerová) nebo pianista Jan Steindorfer (Eva Farna). Náhodné setkání s Ižďo Ižďinským vedlo k nahrání EP v inspirujícím prostředí starého bratislavského televizního studia formou live session.
”“★λ★”“ EP zahrnuje skladby Thrift Store Angel, na které se aranžérsky podílel velšský tenor saxofonista Osian Roberts, You Make Me Feel Like Someone, Sing It Out, a také dvě písně s textem irského básníka a spisovatele Paula McMahona — Sunlight Of My Heart a Don’t Close Your Eyes.
”“★λ★”“ Jedna z písní se dokonce objeví na soundtracku nového polského velkofilmu Plan B premiérovaného v únoru 2018. Nejedná se o první Harriesovu filmovou práci. Jeho tvorba zazněla ve snímcích Lidice, Bobule, Feťáci z New Yorku či v úspěšném krimi seriálu Modré stíny.
”“★λ★”“ EP Recorded Live in Bratislava vychází v exkluzivní designové edici na domácím labelu Tranzistor v distribuci firmy Supraphon. Pražský koncert a křest se uskuteční 15. listopadu 2017 v Experimentálním prostoru NoD.

She was unconcerned
about her own
architectural beauty,
unconcerned
about my gaze,
unconscious
of my feeling
of quiet wonder.
Nebyla znepokojena
svou vlastní
architektonickou krásou,
nezáleží
na mém pohledu,
v bezvědomí
mého pocitu
tichého úžasu.
