Music and Lyrics by Angela James
lyrics
I once tried to assassinate my mate
I once threw up my hands and blew you away
I once cried out to the God of woe, to know
I once knew all I had to do was lose
And everyone needs a hero
And everyone needs a gun
And everyone needs a halo, a halo but me
I once read how the queen had led her dead
I once died and came back to life as a knife
And everyone is a silo
And everyone is a sun
And everyone needs a halo, a halo but me
I once threw up my hands and blew you away
I once cried out to the God of woe, to know
I once knew all I had to do was lose
And everyone needs a hero
And everyone needs a gun
And everyone needs a halo, a halo but me
I once read how the queen had led her dead
I once died and came back to life as a knife
And everyone is a silo
And everyone is a sun
And everyone needs a halo, a halo but me

about
Angela James Chicago, Illinois
Angela James’ music brings to mind the rich, deep voices of artists like Patsy Cline and Rosanne Cash with the narrative sensibility of more modern female troubadours like Neko Case and Gillian Welch.

An incredible album; like a Jonathan Richman of jazz, DePlume champions sincerity and affirmation via an inimitable mumblecore sort of rapping, but plays a quavering melancholic sax throughout as if to remind us of the sadness we must struggle against. A unified sound, a gorgeous backup vocal chorus, and defiantly uplifting. The album to turn to in shaky times.

Pushing aural, intellectual and emotional boundaries. A wonderfully eclectic collection that will take multiple listens to unpack. A gift that keeps giving

Good Days
by Chicago Underground Quartetsupported by 4 fans who also own “Halo”
So happy to see a new album from this band. I've long been a fan of Mazurek and Parker's work in Tortoise, on top of the CUQ... Anyhow, if you're curious about contemporary jazz, this is a terrific place to start.
