Pitchfork: Jamie Lidell Reveals Jim's First Single, Tour

Jamie Lidell Reveals Jim's First Single, Tour

On his last album, Jamie Lidell sang proudly of his ability to "take a trip and Multiply." Would that his feats of travel-induced duplication were actual and not metaphorical, we might have more than a half-dozen tour dates to report from the soul man. Still, the minute Jamie stops being one-of-a-kind, he'd hardly be the Jamie we know and love anymore, right? Besides, if it turned out anything like that movie Multiplicity, it would totally suck.

Backed by his new band, the one and only Jamie will show off all the nooks and crannies of the forthcoming Jim, which sees release April 28 in the UK and April 29 in the U.S. on Warp. And the tour's about to multiply too, as Jamie promises U.S. dates to follow in May and June, with Euro dates in the works as well.

Warp will issue a single for "Little Bit of Feel Good", that nifty ditty you saw Jamie jammin' on in the studio, on April 14 in the UK. Lidell's appearance on Nigel Godrich's "From the Basement" TV show (along with Beck and Jarvis Cocker) hits U.S. airwaves via Rave HD March 7.
