About This Item
Over the course of four years, James Jackson Toth and long-time collaborator Jarvis Taveniere paired newly written songs with ones drawn from decades ago and brought together musicians from across the various eras of his time recording as Wooden Wand-in the end creating an accidental self-imposed This Is Your Life. InchI was bringing people together from my history and writing songs that reckon with my past.Inch The resulting album, James & the Giants picks at the seams of the memories borne of that experience and finds new footing in reframing memory.Whether reassessing his origin story as a child on Staten Island during InchIslanderInch or detailing the complex and nuanced nature of even the closest relationships on the horn-laden InchFriends ForeverInch, James & the Giants trades in the imagery and sounds of Americana, but subtly and thoughtfully tilts the frame until a new, mature perspective emerges. Nothing is as simple as it seems, he seems to say, but the complications are part of the beauty.A1. I Wanna Go Down To The Basement A2. Hall Of MirrorsA3. Don't Let Love Make A Liar Out Of You A4.
