James Welburn

b, NO
Musician of Rock and Electronic

Ecperimental, Drone and Noise band from Lillehammer, Norway Reductionist, monolithic, raw bass playing engulfed in a fog of granulated drones, and driven by relentless beats... James Welburn steps into the ashes covered in drones and noise together with drumming partner Tony Buck (The Necks), producing a debut album crushingly epic. Hailing from the UK, but located in both Berlin (DE) and Lillehammer (NO), James has been on a path to catch the perfect drone through the last years, playing an abundance of underground drone and noise sets in Berlin and Norway. This can be heard on Hold, though set in an impressively produced setting closer to a recent Swans record rather than the raw noise of those early live shows. It's hard to label the album too much in one style, as it shifts and turns into parts inspired by everything from Shoegaze to Black Metal, all set in a state of endless repetition. James Welburn worked with artist like: Svarte Greiner, Simon Scott, James Welburn, Bragge Tormaenen, Eric Thielemans, Gareth Davis, Markus Lang, Tony Buck
