Jim Noir Live Dates & Album Release

• 4th Apr 2008

From a Manchester bedroom to your stereo via outer space, this is the new album from Jim Noir. He’s named it after himself, but don’t be fooled into thinking he’s run out of ideas – Jim’s eponymous second album is one of the most expansive pop records you’ll hear this year.

Where Jim’s 2005 debut Tower Of Love was largely a collection of his EPs to date, this new album is conceived as a single piece and even has a central concept. The first song introduces Commander Jameson, who sets off into space on the next track, All Right.
“He knows he wont be coming back but he tells his wife or whatever otherwise, to make her feel alright even though he knows he's toast,” says Jim. “Then it goes back to the beginning, going through holidays when you’re a kid to finding yourself as an old man giving one last piece of advice before you die. It’s quite a sad record this time.”

Sad… but damned good. Jim’s music has always been a melee of different styles and influences, and this album sees him delving more into his electronic side and going further with melody and vocals than he’s ever gone before – there’s even some lead falsetto.
The album 'Jim Noir' is released on 7th April on My Dad Recordings.

The new single 'What You Gonna Do' is out now and you can catch Jim Noir live at:

24 April –Water Rats, London
