“There’s a magical collaboration with Jim James and conductor, composer and musician Teddy Abrams”
NPR ALL SONGS CONSIDERED
This “magical collaboration” (NPR) was born of a friendship between Jim and Teddy and the fertile music scene of their hometown of Louisville, KY. The Order Of Nature comprises brand-new songs penned by James and orchestrated by Abrams into cinematic, lush soundscapes that presents James’ voice and words in a whole new light. James’ and Abrams also include works from James’ solo projects (Uniform Distortion, Uniform Clarity,Eternally Even), as well as works by Leonard Bernstein and Nina Simone.
“A positive and wonderful new work.”
BOB BOILEN
Together, these songs make up an album that seeks to explore the absence of hate in nature. As James says in the album text, “Animals kill each other, but only out of hunger, while humans daily choose to hate – we choose to ignore the order of nature and that choice is wreaking havoc.”
“a lush, pastoral, optimistic portrait of nature while simultaneously exploring politics, the natural order,and the hopelessness of hatred”
CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
To that end, today James and Abrams release the video for “Back To The End Of The World,” which shows children in panic as their parents, in a state of hypnotized inaction, ignore the literal fires and flooding around them. James says of the video, “I really wanted the video to show the need for us to listen to the powerful voices of our young leaders if we want to make real progress on important issues like climate change… so that we can all work together towards true peace, prosperity, and longevity- for ourselves, future generations, and the planet with all its glorious forms of life.”
“two of the world’s most vibrant and versatile musicians…an explosion of music that boldly synthesizes rock and classical while taking advantage of orchestral music’s inherently cinematic nature”
