Jim James - Eternally Even

The second full-lenth solo release for the My Morning Jacket frontman

My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James is back with Eternally Even, the follow up to his critically acclaimed
2013 solo debut, Regions of Light and Sound of God. The album's produced by Grammy-nominated Blake Mills (Alabama Shakes, Conor Oberst, Fiona Apple).

Eternally Even offers a marked contrast to the My Morning Jacket mainman's previous solo effort Regions Of Light And Sound Of God. In place of that album's psychedelic whimsy are a series of lovely, languid soul grooves built around throbbing, cyclical organ drones, subdued guitar and electric piano, down-tempo funk beats and subtle streaks of strings, writes the U.K's Independent.

"The mood and music have the gentle momentum of Curtis Mayfield, though ironically James eschews his admired angelic falsetto in favour of warm, murmurous vocals as he proclaims how one 'can't build love out of guns, blood and sorrow" and suggests that "the strange times can change.'" — Independent
