BEATS
STATELESS are one of the most exciting bands to emerge in 2007.
Meshing guitars with electronics, orchestral strings with turntable beats, this sonically ambitious UK five-piece already have a depth and a power far beyond their years, conveying a unique blend of PORTISHEAD, COLDPLAY and BJORK, those who hear their music are instantly captured. Stateless are as DJ SHADOW describes them “As close to perfection as I’ve heard in a long time”
A magnet for famous fans & rave reviews, Stateless have already worked with highly acclaimed collaborators, including ARCTIC MONKEYS producer JIM ABBISS & superstar turntable virtuoso DJ Shadow who was ever so impressed by the band’s early recordings, he invited singer CHRIS JAMES to guest on his album, ‘THE OUTSIDER’, followed by an eye-opening world tour together.
Dreamy & soulful, epic yet intimate, the ten songs on this album combine emotional impact with heroic ambition. You find sublime songs like “Prism#1”, attention-grabbing songs like “Exit”, adventurous songs like “This Language”’ (with a rap from SOLESIDES member LATEEF THE TRUTHSPEAKER) & achingly beautiful songs like “Bloodstream”. Then there are also those moments when singer Chris captures a glimmer of JEFF BUCKLEY’s spine-shivering magic, or a whisper of BJORK’s breathless lust for life voice.
Stateless are an unorthodox hybrid of rock, turntables and electro wizardry. The sum total is a unique kind of musical chemistry. Fans of Portishead’s broken beatscapes, Coldplay’s piano-driven wonder and Radiohead’s brooding intensity will find plenty to enjoy on this beautiful album.
