Jim Noir is Back!

Psychadelic singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and bowler hat afficionado Jim Noir is back, with a free 4 track EP entitled Melody Junction. 

The four track EP is now available to download for FREE - get it here:

And if that wasn't enough, Jim's all set to release another EP entitled Zooper Duper soon - this time with six tracks - on good old vinyl. 

Jim Noir is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Davyhulme, Manchester noted for his esoteric dress sense and equally esoteric tunes, which he began making in his childhood bedroom. To date, he has released bucketloads of EPs and two albums: 2005's Tower of Love and 2008's self titled follow-up.

Speaking of why he decide to release two EPs intstead of an album, Jim says:

“The 4 track is the remnants of an album that got dropped on the floor and couldn’t be worked on anymore. As I started writing more new stuff it seemed to not really sound like what I was doing last year, so I’ve decided to give these away and make people buy the fresh bits. Not to diss my own work, but the reason they are free is because I just think the six track EP is much better.” 

Jim may have his tongue in his cheek, but there have been few albums dropped on the floor since we last saw him. “Most of the work I did for my 3rd album became lost in the great hard drive disaster of 2009 and all I have left of it is a few mp3s I sent to friends,” he says. “I now have to download my own music from myself to hear what it could have been.”

He’s also joking about the quality of the EPs – like all of Noir’s work, these four little songs are packed full of enough hooks and ideas to make other songwriters blush. Most intriguing of all is a track named Shooting Deer. “I’m absolutely not advocating anyone shoot deer. I like deer,” he says. “It’s just about one of my good friends who guides me through the tricky world of love, life, and spelling.”
