“I’ve been around Memphis like 10 years, doing some quiet behind-the-scene music production work,” says Jay Particular.
Now, the engineer and producer is stepping in front of the microphone for his new “electro punk-soul-folk-rock-disco project” Love of Nations. His first release, the Glorylands EP, is five pop songs that are as compact as they are ingenious. “Love Of Nations is me, when I have a chance around the studio to work on a song that is not for someone else,” Particular says. “I do sound production work in the studio here day-to-day. Some of the more outlandish techniques I’m able to apply toward other artists’ work in a more reasonable way.”
For the first single, he also produced and directed the music video. “I suppose ‘Rivers on Rivers on Lakes’ is meant to remind one of the inner light no one can take away, like we’re in it together pal, anyone and everyone.This video stars my son, affectionally known as JP Jr. II, as the samurai running in 1/4 time. He was eager to be in the production.”
