Hint (music)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hint is musician Jonathan James, hailing from Sussex in the UK.

His first singles and the debut album, Portakabin Fever, was released on by Bristol-based independent record label Hombré Recordings, in association with Ninja Tune.

The music is at the more chilled-out, downtempo end of the Ninja Tune roster. Several tracks feature looped acoustic guitar and keyboard sounds and his style has been termed "ruralbeat". When Hint recently played live, he was joined on stage by Bonobo and Minotaur Shock, the trio performing under the banner "The Hint Touring Band". Both artists also contributed remixes to Hint's track "Count Your Blessings".
