catahonen Gorgeous songs, incredibly good! Favorite track: There Is No Upside.

dazmo99 There's something about listening to a new album by James. It's like slipping on a favourite, old coat that wraps itself around you and makes you feel warm and contented. Always familiar, yet always different, knowing that it'll be with you for years to come puts me in a happy place. keep them coming. Favorite track: Struggle.

Ursula's Crow 'Sometimes I struggle... for the future unknown'. Me too, James.

scootleh after many years of listening to James' Music in my ears, I have to conclude he plays instruments and sings in a manner that is pleasant and enjoyable. I hope he continues in his endeavours

about

I flew to Sweden and made this record within hours of meeting The Second Hand Orchestra. I played them the songs, we hit record, and from then, every note of every arrangement was spontaneous. The result: this fast-footed, free-wheeling album x

Dynamic, emotional, and extremely varied instrumentation. The strong themes of anxiety about the future and fear of stagnation, mediocrity, and and ignorance in a rapidly changing world really hit home. Fantastic on all fronts and an absolute 10/10 by my standards. I’m so excited to hear what they do next. rango_lucilfer
