Hip and Cool 12

Ryan A. James (aka Man Without Country) returns with "Bloods, Side A" - his nostalgia-tinged new EP inspired by human relationships.

Drawing influence from Com Truise and The Japanese House, lead single "Gardener in a War" blends warped synthesizers and elastic bass-lines with fragile vocals and self-deprecating lyrics (“I was the Petri-dish for you. You’ll be a better man than me”).

More info about Man Without Country:

Led by Welsh-native producer and vocalist Ryan A. James, Man Without Country incorporates modern electronic precision with a love of timeless melodies, and an emphasis on lyrics that cannot be compared to many of his peers.

MWC first emerged in 2007, originally as a duo alongside Tomas Greenhalf. The pair produced two acclaimed studio albums - the confrontational Foe (2012) and the maximalist Maximum Entropy (2015) under Cooperative Music (Universal / PIAS). After parting ways the project resurfaced in late 2017, essentially as a solo act.

In 2018, and following a successful crowd-funder with PledgeMusic, James caught the attention of Camden-based indie Killing Moon Records, who released the ambitious Infinity Mirror in October of that year.

“The fact that Infinity Mirror is primarily the work of just one musician is incredible. There is so much craft and melody on show here you will struggle to hear a better electronic album this year - this is absolutely outstanding.” - The Electricity Club

James’ abilities have also seen him collaborate with some prominent names. His vocal-feature on ‘Sordid Affair’ by multi-platinum-selling Norwegian electro-veterans Röyksopp was the first single taken from their 2014 studio album The Inevitable End. In 2019, the duo revealed ‘In the End’ as part of their Lost Tapes series. Originally recorded in 2014, the song features a vocal duet between James and Susanne Sundfør.

Over the course of his career James has also accumulated quite the remix CV, which lists official remixes and co-remixes for the likes of ionnalee (iamamiwhoami), Interpol, Chad Valley, Empathy Test, Carlosh Garzat, School of Seven Bells, Band of Skulls, Röyksopp, M83, Moby and many others.

LYRICS ///

No I won't no I won't fuel the pain
Smoke filled cabins in my head
I feel as if I have no hope no way out of here
But I won't no I won't fuel the pain

Then I hear

No ceasefire
No ceasefire
No ceasefire
No ceasefire

The moan I hear from another
Worried I will show my fear
I feel a crawling cover a great mistake

No ceasefire
No ceasefire
No ceasefire
No ceasefire

Can lift me up and lay me down
No I won't no I won't be afraid
These holograms in my head
All I need is inside of me
There is a way out then I hear

A ceasefire
A ceasefire
A ceasefire
A ceasefire

Yeah, oh, yeah

As depression rates continue to spike at an alarming rate among millennials/teens, "Ceasefire" explores the slow meander and rhythmic repetitiveness of a creeping depression. The lyrics poignantly illuminate depression and psychological warfare under the influences of a modern technopoly. The final lyrics break the listener away into a euphoric space with a cacophony of harmonies, synths, and guitar riffs lifting the listener up to a finale.

I like to find the cool vibes in music! Trance/Electronic/Indie. Anything that sounds good and gives me goosebumps! You know who you are out there!

You do an eclectric celebration of the dance! You do Fosse, Fosse, Fosse! You do Martha Graham, Martha Graham, Martha Graham! Or Twyla, Twyla, Twyla! Or Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd! Or Madonna, Madonna, Madonna!... but you keep it all inside....
