As he uncovered demos recorded over some four decades (released in 2024 in the form of the acclaimed triple album \u003cem\u003eTracks From the Attic\u003c\/em\u003e), he noticed that some songs were asking him to get reacquainted with them. He eventually complied, approaching material that sometimes he had no recollection of having written as when producing another artist’s music. The old demos became new demos: ideas reworked and sometimes radically transformed, lyrics adjusted when they showed a potential to narrate life in the not-so-roaring 2020s. Thus reshaped, the songs were shared with an ensemble that convened in the studio to breathe new life into them. Some are virtually unrecognizable, while some have kept their original form and charm intact – just developed and grown through the experience that comes with years of music making. It’s an arresting distillation of David J’s eclectic taste and the ever evolving musicality that came out of it: from the influence of late ‘70s New Wave to a lifelong love of classic country and Nick Drake-like romanticism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere the original \u003cem\u003eTracks from the Attic\u003c\/em\u003e invited listeners to be present in the room as a young singer-songwriter found his own way (wandering in the fields of experimentation and collecting the meanderings that followed), the new album puts us in front of an artist who has honed his craft and mastered the art of pruning. Indeed, David J compares the making of \u003cem\u003eTracks From the Attic Revisited\u003c\/em\u003e to the tending of a garden. “The demos were like neglected little seeds that had been set aside, or fallen on fallow land,” he reflects. “They’ve been gathered up, nurtured, tended and brought back to life as little buds. Now this is the bloom.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNumbered Special Edition CD in oversized die-cut pocket folder printed in 5 colors (full color + metallic gold ink), and includes a folding lyric sheet insert.
