In September 2019, Studio Electrophonique released a 10" release entitled Buxton Palace Hotel (VIO 052-1LP). The record, promoted largely by word of mouth, sold out within a fortnight of release capturing the hearts of fans, journalists, and fellow musicians alike. Due to demand, Violette Records is releasing a strictly limited run of CDs. Studio Electrophonique is the solo musical venture of James Leesley. Bright eyed, tousle-headed and with a look halfway between penitence and innocence, James conjures a sound akin to the dream where Bill Ryder-Jones fronts The Velvet Underground with echoes of Cherry Ghost drifting in there for good measure. Cinematic, melodic, warm -- efficient in arrangement yet intricate in detail. On hearing the song "Jayne", Richard Hawley invited Studio Electrophonique to open for his band in London and Holmfirth in May 2019. Etienne Daho's love of the record extended to a personal invite to James to perform as his special guest and open his show at the famous L'Olympia in Paris in January 2020.
