Martin And James

2011 looks set to be another exciting year for Martin and James. The arrival of their debut self-titled album on Universal Germany will mark a move into the full band sound, headline tours with MLK Touring, and the inevitable round of special events and promotions that have made them so popular with their fans. “As this is our first proper release of a full album, of course we hope people will connect with it. We have toured all over Europe for the last two years building a following for our music. Now we get to give those people a full album. It’s exciting. We’re looking forward to playing some of our own shows, and trying out things we don’t get to do in a shorter support set.”

“Jim Kroft is a fiercely independent individual and his artistic control shines through”
Battery in your leg
In October 2011 Jim Kroft released his second album ‘The Hermit And The Hedonist’.
After some years as a musician in London, Kroft moved to Berlin in 2007. With no where to stay on arrival he was given shelter in an abandoned building by the Tacheles Arts Community, a cabal of artists and squatters on the East Side.
There he played a residency for 3 years in the Tacheles and released an album with his previous band Myriad Creatures, produced by The Strokes´s Gordon Raphael.
Leaving the band in May 2010, Kroft quickly recorded his debut solo album “Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea” which was released on London´s “Sidewalk 7”. The album was critically acclaimed on the blogosphere where Kroft was described “as a genuine talent” by There Goes The Fear, and Tasty fanzine wondered if “this is infact the great lost Noel Gallagher solo album?”
Inspired, Kroft found himself in a creative gold rush, and has recently finished recording his new album. Produced by Laura Marling drummer Matt Ingram and mixed by Ricard Wilkinson (Adele/Kaiser Chiefs) In The Kink´s legendary London “Konk Studios”, it will bring Kroft to the audience many believe he deserves.
In both Berlin and London Kroft is now enjoying the creative partnerships which his songs and path have attracted – whether with Berlin´s infamous Sunst Brothers on the graphic concept or the continuing support of thriving East London ‘Urchin Studios’ on the albums.
Having lived through the industry´s turmoil, Jim Kroft makes for an unlikely veteran. He is finding a way to get his project made in the lost currency of collaboration, the old fashioned ethos of making something for the love it, and the support of a flowering artistic community on the ground.
“All Jim does is create great art. He is the truest artist I have encountered in a very long time”
