New Jim Noir - "Don't You Worry"
Taking a break from reminding us holidays are times of magic, Manchester electro-acoustic singer-songwriter Jim Noir's back with his self-titled sophomore full-length (see, he's been releasing a bunch of EPs since Tower Of Love). One of the best tracks, "Don't You Worry," is a swirling analog hymn with an OTC-on-Beatles vibe and simple message: Don't worry, be happy. Well, kind of: "Don't worry, I'll be fine." The "If you don't want to be with me / What do you expect me to be?" bridge isn't quite as cheery as the Target cut.
Jim Noir - Don't You Worry" (MP3)
Psychedelic. The song, combined with the wavy photo, make us want to watch Ghostbusters stoned.
Jim Noir is out 4/8 on Barsuk.

Love the sound. "Tower of Love" was actually a pretty stellar record. Noir is basically making 21st-century Beatles music, but he somehow manages to pull it off without being pretentious or annoying. I'm starting to think this guy is the real deal.
Score = 0
