In April of 2022 I sat down with a guitar and wrote what would become "Light in the Dark" - the kind of song that I would want to resonate through me and out into the world, a synthesizer-and-Zac-Clark fueled celebration of digging deep. (📷 by Brendan Willing James)

Over the last few days I got to go on something of a media tour to celebrate the release.

Brendan Willing James’ ‘In the Colors’ is out now on our label Echo Magic.

This is an album of firsts.

Looking back through photos from that time I’m reminded that my wife and I were still parents of our first and only child. That's the big first.

It was also the first session I got to do with Mikael Jorgensen from Wilco on keys.
