My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James will be releasing his first official solo album, Regions of Light and Sound of God, this February via ATO. Recorded at his home studio in Louisville, KY over the past two years, James produced, engineered and played all the instruments on the record. Inspired by the 1929 graphic novel God’s Man about an artist’s relationship with temptation and love, James stated: “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—like 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.”
