Regions Of Light And Sound Of God

My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James has announced his debut full-length solo LP, "Regions of Light and Sound of God". (In 2009, he released an EP under the name Yim Yames.) It's out February 5 via ATO, and it features the single "Know Til Now", which you can stream above or download in the widget below. That's the cover art, above.  James plays every instrument and engineered the album himself. It was inspired primarily by Lynd Ward's 1929 graphic novel God's Man, which "chronicles an artist's struggles with temptation and corruption, along with finding true love," according to a press release. “Some of the things happening in the book were happening to me in real life, in a very strange and painful, then a very beautiful way,” James said in a press release. "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."
