Jim James “Regions Of Light And Sound Of God” Deluxe Reissue
2 LP’s on clear vinyl with purple splash
Featuring 12 previously unreleased new songs & demos in a tip-on gatefold jacket w/rainbow foil
Over the course of a decades-long and infinitely surprising career, My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James has created the kind of mind-expanding music that transports the listener into liminal spaces: the intangible terrain between reality and dream, perception and imagination, the sensory world and the super mundane. On his 2013 debut solo album Regions of Light and Sound of Goda critically lauded release now reissued as a deluxe edition with 12 never-before-heard b-sides, demos, and alternate takesthe Kentucky born singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist stepped further into unknown and otherworldly territory.
While Regions of Light and Sound of God explores some heady existential questions (the impermanence of life, the search for self-transcendence), each song reveals Jamess immense capacity for wonder and rare gift for awakening a euphoric sense of curiosity in his audience. Self-produced and recorded at his Louisville homewith James handling every instrument except for strings and drumsthe album encompasses a dizzying expanse of sounds, drifting from art-pop to cosmic folk to time-bending R&B with a warm and restless elegance.
Hailed by Rolling Stones David Fricke as an eccentric, gently compelling pleasure: George Harrisons Seventies classic-rock spiritualism reborn in the laptop age, Regions of Light and Sound of God set the tone for a solo career thats continually led James into new and unexpected directions.
