about

My first attempt at the February Album Writing Month challenge (www.fawm.org). You're supposed to write fourteen songs in the month of February. I wrote... five. Almost had six, but it didn't take. More remarkably, though, I think they're actually all maybe not terrible, and I don't know that I've EVER written that many songs in a row that maybe aren't terrible. Your mileage may vary, admittedly...

These are all first take recordings, so some have decidedly incorrect chords and muffed lyrics; even in the couple weeks since I wrote them, some have already been refined or altered; some may, in time, be revealed to be much weaker than I think they are and scrapped for parts (or taken out back and shot). But maybe when #JHSophomoreRecord starts to take shape, some of these tunes will be on the list.

about

James Hearne New York

Powerhouse vocals over woodsy guitars, literate songs times wry banter, floor-to-ceiling dynamics plus wall-to-wall heart.

James Hearne recommends:

The Space Race
by The Standing Cinema

Beatlesque in the best sense of the word. These guys are sharp dressers, sharp players, and generally upstanding citizens. Dear, dear friends of mine. James Hearne

Vs. the Sophomore Slump
by Venice Sunlight

Riffy power-pop with hooks to die for. High-energy and low-bullshit. I would play with these dudes every night of the week and twice on Saturday night (except we'd probably be too drunk after one). James Hearne
go to album
On So Thin A Line
by The Way Home

The "Mr. Hyde" to my "Dr. Jekyll." Or is it the other way around? Anyway, this is me only way louder and with more four part harmonies. And, ya know, a few other guys. James Hearne
