TUNES // Jim James – Here In Spirit

Posted on Nov 6, 2016By Misha

Haunting, plinky piano notes open Jim James’ fatalistic anthem. The second single from his brand new sophomore album, Eternally Even, “Here In Spirit” sets the stage for a record that’s moody, thoughtful, and more than a little tortured. Though on its surface, there’s a plush velvet sheen to this tune that suggests bygone eras, my favorite moment is an unexpected and all-too-brief glitchy breakdown towards the end of the song, a reminder of James’ innovative musicianship and a fitting close to a song about life’s unpredictability.
