James Ellis Ford – Lost In Another World

, James Ellis Ford’s singular, emotionally resonant second solo album will be released by Domino on August 14th. The album was made from start to finish in just over two weeks in early 2025, while James was on a hospital ward between punishing rounds of chemotherapy, following a diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), an aggressive cancer of the white blood cells.  Using a laptop containing his virtual studio and a cheap mic, he created musical sketches. After Sereen, his wife, bought him a fold away IKEA bedside table and some synths to put on it, these sketches swiftly turned into songs. Staff at the hospital got used to taking his blood pressure while he was laying down vocal takes.
