about

Very pleased to finally share a release by my friend, Bible Belt member and fellow Arkansas resident involved in the Rural Harsh Noise collective.

James typically works in one of three styles: super focused textural HNW, crude 90's sounding Harsh Noise and shoegazey Ambient Music.

On "Beautiful Before Birth" he channels all of these approaches into a cohesive whole taken from numerous spontaneous jam sessions using a makeshift setup of found/thrifted/secondhand electronics recorded straight to tape collage style.

A true fanatic who is isolated and has limited access to the resources many artists are privileged to have, yet his determination and ability to make great noise is totally achieved.
