James Ellis Ford has released 'The Ever After', a reflective synth-pop piece from his second solo album Lost In Another World, due 14 August through Domino in synth-pop.
Ford recorded the album alone from a hospital bed while receiving treatment for acute myeloid leukemia, giving its themes of mortality an unavoidable immediacy. Drawing on the dance-music instincts Ford developed in Simian Mobile Disco, the track uses glowing electronics and forward movement as tools for survival.
Inspired by the joy Ford finds in his young son, hope emerges without sounding superficial: a song about choosing connection and brightness when circumstances provide reason to retreat.
