  • Description

    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.
