My Morning Jacket’s<\/strong> leader Jim James<\/strong> has announced that in February he will release his first full-length album, Regions Of Light And Sound Of God<\/strong>.\u00a0 While the magnificent and magnanimous James<\/strong> has previously released a gorgeous EP of\u00a0 George Harrison<\/strong> cover songs under the Yim Yames<\/strong> moniker, this will be his first solo album.<\/p>\n

According to Pitchfork<\/strong>, James’ press release states that the album “chronicles an artist’s struggles with temptation and corruption, along with finding true love. 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.\u00a0 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\u2014like 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.”<\/p>\n

Evidently James engineered and played all the instruments on the album.\u00a0 You can pre-order and download new track Know Til Now HERE<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Or you can listen below as James evokes a soul-and-synth motif<\/strong> on the new song.\u00a0\u00a0 We can’t wait.\u00a0 A track list follows below.<\/p>\n
