And the 2008 Bedroom Genius Award goes to...
JIM NOIR – JIM NOIR
Music from Jim Noir’s 2006 debut “Tower Of Love” was used on the BBC Radio4 game show “The Unbelieveable Truth,” the US television series “Grey’s Anatomy,” commercials for Chase Manhattan Bank, UK food company Ginsters, Target, Adidas, and in the trailer for the PS3 game “Little Big Planet.” Not bad for a 24 year old guy from Manchester. A bedroom genius extraordinaire, Jim Noir admits to not getting out much, instead hiding out in Davyhulme, recording his unique brand of nostalgic yet progressive psychedelic-tinged pop.
The self-titled followup album is a masterpiece, expanding upon some of the ideas in “Tower Of Love,” but adding new layers of harmony and understated elements of electronic wizardry.
Check out the track "Look Around You" here:
