Jamie Lidell new single 'Compass'

The Ring is the first single from the upcoming new Lidell long player 'Compass' and it has a serious stomp to its swagger.

Jamie and fellow musicians including Chilly Gonzales and Dan Rossen (Grizzly Bear) lift their hammers in this Anvil blues, whose lyrics describe a bedraggled beachcomber as he is seen desperately searching for his lost gold. The video, shot by Lindsey Rome in double vision through the barrel of a dusty camera's sights finds Jamie returning to the songs birthplace, the beaches of Western Australia, to shout it out from the sands.

The single will be available on 7" and digitally on May 10th, and features a new, unreleased B-side. In addition Jamie is touring with an all-new band from the end of April, landing in London week of album release and playing right through into the Summer.
