My Morning Jacket's vocalist/ guitarist/ songwriter Jim James has just released a new solo song online! 'Know Til Now' is the first song and video released from James' forthcoming debut full length solo album called 'Regions Of Light And Sound Of God' - a rather lofty title I must say.
The album is scheduled for release on February 5th, 2013 on the ATO Records label and this single is available now on itunes. You can also pre-order the album digitally, on cd, on vinyl, and as a limited (to 500) package that features 'Your choice of CD or vinyl. Includes signed and numbered 11x14 fine art print, Jim James t-shirt, "A.E.I.O.U" tote bag, and keychain with carabiner' here: http://jimjames.com/
Lofty album title aside I was pretty blown away by 'Know Til Now' upon my first listen. It begins quietly with that ethereal My Morning Jacket vibe. What follows is a magical sonic journey mixing soulful Motown, electronic synths, wonderful vocal effects and a touch of jazz. It has the feel of a decades old classic that also manages to sound refreshingly new.
And this video - yet another perfect example of how low cost creativity always trumps big budget music clips. It's a simple loop that makes you wait and wonder - and it's ever so effective at hypnotizing me... Enjoy!
