Lee Jones lived in London until 2002, where he was producing and remixing as the successful downtempo/ nu-jazz artist Hefner. After following his heart to Berlin, he was inspired by the music and clubs to move into a new production style over the past 6 years. Most recently he’s become known as the main creative force behind MyMy, whose debut album ‘Songs For The Gentle’ on Playhouse made waves across the globe. Since 2007 he’s released his beautiful solo works on Aus Music and Just, whilst also collaborating with Berlin local hero Daniel Dreier on releases for Upon You and releasing new MyMy material on Berlin’s illustrious Ostgut Ton imprint. Having recently returned from the US and Japan performing live dates with Nick Höppner as MyMy, he also has a busy DJing schedule around Europe and continues to promote the popular monthly clubnight at Watergate ‘MyMy and friends’. His debut solo album ‘Electronic Frank’ nearly never was after his apartment was burgled the week of mastering, but happily its been rescued and will be accompanied by two 12”s featuring remixes from Stimming and The Mole. 'Electronic Frank' is full of surprising and heart warming moments that open out unexpectedly from richly textured grooves. Every Click Matters - there’s no padding in Lee's music. He pulls melody and harmony from the most abstract places and spaces, yet makes them work together like few producers can. His wistful melodies combined with his spacious programming allows you to drift off into your own thoughts, yet the detail in the sound design can snap you back to reality in a second.
The first half of the album is a lush, rich intricate tapestry. Quirky and playful. Inviting and detailed. Full of real instrumentation and uplifting, yet introspective and often melancholic melody. The pace is gentle, the vibe relaxed. Individually sung words and vocal snippets lend a human touch and when layered with an imaginary orchestra full of opulent harps, sweeping strings, delicate pianos, bouncy accordion's and all manor of weird and wonderful instruments it creates a dramatic effect. From 'Roadwork' onwards the intensity increases giving us an insight as to why Lee's MyMy alias works so well in a club context. On 'Roadwork' and 'The Secret' the groove is stripped back giving the melodies a feeling of space and power. The mood darkens with the sinister guitar licks of ‘Shoe Shine’ before the intensity dial is cranked up fully with 'Every Click Matters', which sounds like Timbaland might if he'd hung out in Berlin for the last 5 years with fabulous fruits in fancy dress......'It Is Isn't It' and 'Safari' are drawn from equally freakish sound pallets - trumpets (real and of the Elephant variety), flutes, timpani, insect sounds, bird calls and the list goes on. They are percussively explosive, rhythmically beguiling, full of
surprises and packed with sounds and influences that on paper shouldn't work but in practice do. Brilliantly. The climax of the album is 'MDMazing' and we think the title says it all. Don't take it too seriously, it's supposed to make you smile.
