“King Jaymes cracks the [human code] and dares to wish death on the algorithm”
TEN TRACKS THAT REFUSE TO APOLOGIZE FOR CARING
Plus one that doesn’t exist anywhere else
“Folk punk storytelling at its finest, crafted with the kind of precision that makes every note feel intentional.”
— Indie Music Discovery
“The production here is exquisite. Piano and subtle orchestration flicker around Jaymes’s restrained vocals, building a sense of quiet devastation. It is, without exaggeration, one of the finest closing tracks on a debut record in recent memory.”
— Vocal Media
“He’s not playing a rock god, he is more like a flawed prophet for the age of collapse, whispering hard won truths into a burning wind.”
— Cool Happy Genius Heroes
“King Jaymes” finds him in rare form: drowsy-eyed, world weary but lucid as ever. Over a shuffling rhythm that evokes a late night stumble through emotional wreckage, Jaymes meditates on trauma, conflict and the desperate search for relief.”
— Modern Mystery
“Jaymes’s songwriting is razor-sharp here. He’s got a way of pulling humor and devastation out of the same line, and you can hear the smirk behind his delivery. He’s holding up a mirror. Baby isn’t just some political figure or a vague ‘them.’ Baby is in all of us”
— SUBBA CULTCHA
“Just because a song has a poignant and powerful message doesn’t mean that it can’t be fun, too, right? After all, what better way to get the point home and try to educate people than without them realizing that they are being schooled? Even if it is subliminally.”
— Dancing About Architecture
