Listen To Jim Nothing's Debut Album 'In The Marigolds'
The project of Tāmaki Makaurau / Ōtautahi songwriter James Sullivan, with Anita Clark (Motte) and Brian Feary (Wurld Series, Salad Boys), Jim Nothing today unveils to the world their fuzzy, frazzled and "slightly-delic" debut album In The Marigolds. Melodies warm enough to melt hearts of ice are abundant throughout Jim Nothing's new long player, indeed echoing the jangle-pop spirit of Aotearoa groups of yore, whilst saddling up for adventures down DIY sonic pathways unearthed in their own back yard. That questing impulse is especially present in Sullivan's lyrics, pondering existential mysteries and admirably resisting the threat of jadedness with lines like “We should get lost cos at least that’s something to do” on 'Never Come Down'. Shrugging off killer hook after hook on such insta-classics as 'Borrowed Time', 'Nowhere Land', 'Already Gone' and the imaginative 'Seahorse Kingdom', there's a rock solid reason why Jim Nothing has been riding high on the SRN charts for the past month or so. Recorded and produced by Feary, listen up to In The Marigolds and go catch Jim Nothing in action tonight at The Wine Cellar with full band, plus special guests Wellness and Melted Ice Cream DJs...
