jim noir / jim noir (bark73)From a Manchester bedroom to your stereo via outer space, we're overjoyed to introduce the new album from Jim Noir. He's named it after himself, but don’t be fooled into thinking he's run out of ideas — Jim's eponymous second album is one of the most expansive pop records you’ll hear this year. Jim’s music has always been a melee of different styles and influences, and this album sees him delving more into his electronic side and going further with melody and vocals than he’s ever gone before — there's even some lead falsetto.

New album from Jim Noir [ 08 Apr 2008 ]

jim noir / jim noir (bark73)Jim Noir's eponymous second album is released today, and it's an absolutely brilliant record. But don't take our word for it — here's what the critics are writing about this electronic pop masterpiece:

Stuffed with whimsical beauty and gorgeous layered harmonies that Brian Wilson would kill for. An extraordinary achievement. FIVE STARS - The Independent

Psychedelic electro-pop of the most inventively buoyant and sweetly retro-futurist kind. FOUR STARS - Uncut

Jim Noir’s self-titled album happily skips through the high points of Western pop with cheeky wit and striking skill. It’s a classic rock candy store. - Under The Radar

Check out this free mp3 from the new album, or have a look at Jim Noir's performance at this year's SXSW festival.
