British performer Jamie Lidell will be at Union Transfer tonight. Over his six-album career, Lidell has worked with Beck, Feist and Simian Mobile Disco. Lidell is currently touring in support of his recent self-titled Warp Records release, which sees the soul singer adopt a more electronic dance vibe instead of his usual R&B tinged soul angle. Tickets and information for tonight’s show with Empress Of and Ludwig Persik can be found here. Below, watch the video for Jamie Lidell’s “You Naked.”

Just Announced: Jamie Lidell playing Union Transfer in April
UK soul man Jamie Lidell is back with a new album, his eponymously-titled sixth release, coming out on Warp Records in February. He hits the road shortly after, and if you’ve never seen this guy live, we highly recommend it – he burns up the stage big time. When Compass was released in 2010, he turned in an impressive set on the stage at World Cafe Live; this time, he’s at Union Transfer on April 14. Onsale information will be announced shortly. Below, listen to the bass-heavy bump of “What a Shame” from Jamie Lidell, out on February 19.
