The latest studio album from Jim James will be released on Friday, August 28. Wowed Out is the first solo recording in eight years from the My Morning Jacket frontman. This album draws on material that James originally contributed to two film scores in the 2010s and then revisited for this project. James explains, “For years I kept returning to all this music we’d made and couldn’t figure out what to do with it. But for some reason, last year everything started flowing in a really beautiful way.”

“Come Again” is the first single from the forthcoming release. The music is said to originate from “a scene set in a teddy bear factory but then evolved into a kaleidoscopic but forward-moving meditation on resilience in the face of chaotic instability.” James, himself, notes, “‘Come Again’ came from feeling discouraged by how much things are changing in directions I don’t agree with, but trying to remember that there’s still so much beauty to be experienced. You’ve got to just keep going and keep trying again and again and again to find joy.”

The video was conceived and edited with analog videographic illusions by W.G. Rickel. Wowed Out is available for pre-order/pre-save.
