Alright, so I don't mean to retread old ground here. I know we've already written about Jamie Liddell, but jesus, have you seen this guy sing over his own beatboxing? Have you heard the new album?

I just did. I mean, just go and listen to "Hurricane" on his Myspace page and tell me that won't completely BLOW UP on a sunny Naeba afternoon...

Liddell may be opening for Elton John's new tour, but Indie kids, don't let that throw you. He's really a bizarre hybrid. On one side, he is full-on old-school soul a la Stevie Wonder/Otis Redding. On the other, he's all clicks and cuts like his Warp labelmates, Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada.

If you can't picture that combination, watch this to hear the former and this for the latter.

Great interview here
Cool video interview here
Liddell's a Mac fan, too, apparently. Interview and gear geek-out here
