  • Jamie Woon will release his debut LP mirrorwriting on April 11 via Candent Songs. The English singer is no stranger to bass music, having burst onto the scene in 2007 with his version of "Wayfaring Stranger," remixed by Burial to great acclaim. Three years alter, he released Night Air, which was co-produced by Burial and given a house re-rub by Ramadanman. That one garnered playlist spots on BBC Radio 1 and ended up rocketing Woon into the BBC Sound of 2011 poll. His mostly self-produced debut album was three years in the making, and evidently explores classic soul and blues as much as UK bass music. With a total of 12 tracks (including “Night Air,”), the album promises to be chock full of Woon's hushed, sample-heavy percussion and layered vocals. If the track "Blue Truth" (which Woon recently gave away) is any indication, the album should continue with his trademark mixture of warm vocals with intricate beats. Tracklist 01. Night Air 02. Street 03. Lady Luck 04. Shoulda 05. Middle 06. Spirits 07. Echoes 08. Spiral 09. TMRW 10. Secondbreath 11. Gravity 12. Waterfront Candent Songs will release mirrorwriting on April 11th, 2011.
