[Winter 2009] 'Onward, with Qualities To Be Prized...'
"There is no true label or definition that one could apply to Misterlee, it stands up not only as its own sound, but provokes emotion in a way that most music can't these days" Airscale, FolkItUp.net. "Jamie's guitaring is a phenomenon to behold, and exercise in controlled passion to match John Parish (PJ Harvey collaborator). The contrast between power and restraint is a detail in a much bigger picture. Frequent stylistic switches sometimes read as jolting or stilted, sometimes as swerves in the enigmatic but ordered flight of the bumble bee. For all the swerves and switchbacks, the guitar breezes jazz and drips sweet blues. Lee's synth sounds swoop atmospherically then scratch and lust cybernetically. Many sounds metamorphose from the intermeshed processing of voice and pedalling of guitar. But others are the unique product of a singer with microphone in one hand and drumstick in the other. Harsh beats crunching, twisting scrapyard compactors. The vocal speaks in clean melodies and processed grind, unforced emotion and manufactured horror..."

I'm happy to announce that my new album "Songs From The Films Of David Lynch" is out now.
"Truly unsettling and perplexingly brilliant... testament to both the quality of Lynch’s soundtracks and Truax’s talents" - The Skinny
"Truax is paying homage to a kindred spirit with this album. It's the best kind of tribute – affectionate and respectful, but with its own quirks and imaginative leaps and its own distinct identity." -The Scotsman
