You Are All My People Album

I'm Not Jim is a genre-bending collaboration between the renowned novelist Jonathan Lethem ("Motherless Brooklyn," "Fortress of Solitude") and the great American songwriter Walter Salas-Humara of the Silos. The two were mutual admirers and met in a bar in New Orleans and thought of a way to combine their artistry.So
what exactly do these songs sound like? Lethem and Humara’s songwriting
takes the ordinary pop, folk, or blues song and makes it the occasion
for what you might call ‘serious play’ – every lyric is grounded in
emotion, but emotion twisted by language and wit into something
recognizeable but new.The melodies that spring from Walter’s voice fitting itself to these unexpected syllables push the strength and warmth of his Silos
work to a new range, sometimes featuring a Dylanesque
self-consciousness or humor, sometimes a Nick Drake introspection. And
when the skewed brilliance of the songs meets the
paisley-pop-electronic-remix chops of Maxwell and Hernandez – the Elegant Too – the result always cuts against simple interpretation, pushing all the charm toward menace, and the sorrow toward ecstasy.(From Bloodshot Records)
