JIM STRONG - My Enemies Are Mine To Keep LP
Jim Strong is a US based artist and musician who in recent years has left a trail of enigmatic releases on labels such as Vitrine, More Mars and Chocolate Monk. He will also be familiar to some for his past work with Melkings, Eyes of the Amaryllis, and Weyesblood. Now HoP is pleased to announce Jimâs first solo vinyl outing.
My Enemies Are Mine To Keep is Jimâs most clearly defined statement to date. Its sides illustrate his self-sufficient, world-building methods through a mixture of orchestral miniatures and eerie, haptic pop songs fashioned from the artists home-made and invented instruments.
The attention to process does not over-shadow Jimâs commitment to making deeply affecting, human work. With his unique mechanical orchestra wheezing behind him, Jimâs heartfelt vocals (plus a duet with long-time collaborator, Natalie Mering / Weyesblood) guide listeners through themes of futurity and isolation observing, among other things; the macrocosms of a break up; the discovery of a dead body in a sleepy beach town; and an angel measuring the shape of God.
My Enemies Are Mine To Keepâs unique sound palette & approach to songcraft make comparisons futile but if we have to weâll say Joe Meek, Harry Partch, Voice Crack, & The Incredible String Band. Capiche?
