Grey Eyes, Grey Lynn (Vinyl)
Jim Nothing is set to release his latest LP, âGrey Eyes, Grey Lynnâ out October 18th through Meritorio Records (Spain) and Melted Ice Cream (NZ). Grey Eyes, Grey Lynn is a record that could only come from inner-city Auckland and is an open window into Jim Nothing's world. Created during a time of isolation, Jim reflects on his immediate surroundings, finding beauty in the ordinary and noting the eccentricities of everyday life.
Jim Nothing's songwriting has matured, showing a refined narrative which pulls from lived experience. Themes and scenes of local pubs, open roads, psychedelic summers and deep melancholia. This is antipodean life at the edge of the world. Written on walks through the neighborhood with a notebook and pen.
Recorded between The Audio Foundation and Jim's own garage. The amalgamation of spaces further blurs the line between a âdemoâ and a final recording, as buried within the songs are the initial moments of weird magic and intimacy. The outcome is an album that retains the crystalline nature of early recordings, offering a feel very much immediate and genuine. Sonic experimentation of acoustic instruments, layered guitar drone and catchy pop hooks create a palette both heady and new. Influences from New Zealand's past can undoubtedly be heard (The Clean, Snapper, LBGP) but the world contained within âGrey Eyes, Grey Lynnâ is a world of Jims. Both a slice of life and a moment in time.
James Sullivan: Guitar, Tin Whistle, Reed Organ, Vocals
