Jim James is one of indie-rock’s most unpredictable and innovative songwriters, creating music that runs the gamut of musical genres or totally defies them all. James is set to release his newest album Regions of Light and Sound of God on February 5th on ATO Records. “Know Til Now” serves as our first preview of that album; the song incorporates loops and samples, disco beats, falsetto vocals, ambient swells all inside a standard pop format, well except the saxy extended outro sprawling from the end of the song. The song is ambitious as it’s maker, and we’re into it. Listen below.
