As My Morning Jacket’s touring duties for last year’s album Circuital draw to a close, their ever-productive lead man has announced the release of an album under his own name – his first full length as a solo artist, following on from a brief EP he released a few years ago. The album, entitled Regions of Light and Sound of God, will be released through ATO Records on February 5th – you can see the cover art above.
James says of the album:
“I wanted the album to sound like it came from a different place in time. Perhaps sounding as if it were the past of the future, if that makes any sense—like a hazy dream that a fully-realized android or humanoid capable of thought might have when it reminisces about the good old days of just being a simple robot.”
It seems like quite a project for anyone to realize, but Jim James certainly has the talent to do it – and since he has played every instrument on the album, and engineered it himself, then it should truly match his vision.
