Let's laugh like we deserve it Don't use it all at once--let's conserve it Don't dance the night away--let's preserve it Cause the sky is a hall of mirrors Oh, the sky is a hall of mirrors If a secret's been kept, let's reveal it It theres something we want, let us go and steal it And our disguise will be a hall of mirrors Oh, our disguise will be a hall of mirrors Let's not let these shadows fool us We won't let the tide or starlight rule us We'll toast the dark for the way it cools us Cause the night is a hall of mirrors Oh, tonight is a hall of mirrors Oh, tonight is a hall of mirrors

about

Over the course of four years, James Jackson Toth and long-time collaborator Jarvis Taveniere paired newly written songs with ones drawn from decades ago and brought together musicians from across the various eras of his time recording as Wooden Wand—in the end creating an accidental self-imposed This Is Your Life. “I was bringing people together from my history and writing songs that reckon with my past.” The resulting album, James & The Giants picks at the seams of the memories borne of that experience and finds new footing in reframing memory.

Whether reassessing his origin story as a child on Staten Island during “Islander” or detailing the complex and nuanced nature of even the closest relationships on the horn-laden “Friends Forever”, James & The Giants trades in the imagery and sounds of Americana, but subtly and thoughtfully tilts the frame until a new, mature perspective emerges. Nothing is as simple as it seems, he seems to say, but the complications are part of the beauty.
