Some songs are just perfect for a Saturday evening walk. The sun is setting beautifully on classic LA streets, giving the palm trees that perfect golden glow. That’s what Adam James has accomplished with “Falling Upwards.”
It’s kind of droning, but in a great way. It begins with a trudging acoustic guitar and some electric guitar adding this feeling of lazing around. But what I feel when listening is, this is the perfect song to walk around with in your ears. It just has that vibe. I want to be walking through town drowning out the rest of the world to this song as the world moves around me in slow motion.
So, with that said, get out and go for a walk, but make sure you follow Adam James on instagram, facebook, and spotify before you leave.
ABOUT ADAM JAMES
Adam James cut his teeth on east coast stages and recording studios writing and performing extensively in bands like the post-hardcore Sleep Bellum Sonno, Prog-punk outfit The Vigilance Committee and his gritty folk-rock creative brainchild More Than Skies.
With influences ranging from The Beatles and Beach Boys to Cut Worms and Nada Surf, Adam’s musically intelligent and poetically vulnerable songwriting would feel at home on playlists among Beach House, Conor Oberst, Richard Swift and Death Cab For Cutie.
Following 2020’s Lucky Dollar City EP, The Willows, Adam James’ solo debut full-length project is due out late summer. The Willow’s dreamy California sound pays homage to his time spent in LA by way of NY. The LP’s dreamy California vibes replete with slide guitars, synths, and nostalgia-inducing reverb-doused melodies reflect his swapping of coasts and intimately shares the emotional journey all this dogged traveling and prolific creating has been.
