Dave
"Double Yellow" Lilley,
vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, is a long-term collaborator with
Diesler (AKA Jonathan
Radford). With completely different approaches towards making music,
and after many late night muso-chats,
Dave Lilley and Jonathan Radford embarked on numerous collaborations
that formed the backbone
of most of Diesler's album outputs. Together they wrote much of
Diesler's best-selling 2006 album, Keepie
Uppies, which was shortlisted for Best
Album in Gilles
Peterson's Worldwide Awards for Radio
1 and
received global exposure. And now the two are responsible for the
Double Yellow album combining ingredients
from a rich and deep larder of Barrelhouse Honky Tonk, Club Funk,
Dixieland Jazz-Stomp, Swing.
Tracks
from the new album have already received airplay from Gilles Peterson
on BBC 6 Music, Radio 2 and his
Worldwide Mixtape, plus Jazz FM, Samurai
FM and more. The Double Yellow EP, We
Got Caught, received shining
reviews including a 9/10 rating from
Blues & Soul Magazine. On
top of this, Double Yellow have also
received support from the likes of Kev
Beadle, Chris Philips and Mike
Chadwick on Jazz
FM, Simon Harrison
at Basic
Soul and Red
Rack'em from Smugglers
Inn Radio - to name a handful.
Life
In The Slow Lane is formed from many
styles, sounds and influences, and also includes a Dixie Jazz- leaning
cover of 'No One Knows' by Queens Of The
Stone Age - which has seen love already
from Jazz FM and
Samurai FM. The album marries the light and organic, with the
intricate and deep - cruising from dance- floor
ditties to exquisitely produced contemporary productions. A real
treasure trove of audible delights, with tracks
to appease and excite fans of multiple genres and disciplines.
