James Adrian Brown, former Pulled Apart By Horses guitarist, after achieving chart success, touring the world, and releasing four critically acclaimed studio albums with PABH has begun paving a new path in instrumental electronic music and composition. His new single “Generator” is released ahead of his album “Forever Neon Lights”
“Generator” is also available as a limited CD EP featuring exclusive remixes from CiS big hitters, Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan, Field Lines Cartographer, James Welsh and Frazer at Werra Foxma.
The forthcoming album, Forever Neon Lights will be released by Castles in Space early next year and is inspired by Brown’s formative memories of visiting the Blackpool Illuminations as a child. Those bright lights by the sea became a personal symbol of hope, possibility, and escapism, shaping the creative vision Brown now brings to his solo work.
Ahead of the album, we release a new single, of which Brown says “Generator’ is about creating your own momentum and powering through life’s challenges. Just as the illuminations need a generator to shine, we all have to find and build our own energy source to keep moving forward. For me, it’s about resilience, staying true to your dreams, and making them real.”
Brown’s solo work is heavily electronica-based, utilising analogue synths alongside tape machines, piano, strings, and immersive ambient atmospherics. His focus lies in the analogue process of capturing and creating sound using physical hardware.Taking inspiration from artists such as Boards of Canada, Rival Consoles and Thom Yorke, Brown is exploring, evolving, and pushing his songwriting into bold new sonic territories.
Hot off the heels of producing Benefits’ critically acclaimed album Constant Noise earlier this year, and following a continual flow of live shows, singles, EPs, collaborations and remixes by the likes of Hayden Thorpe, Blood Red Shoes & Benefits.
