About a month ago, I launched and announced Headphone Community – a special place where independent artists can connect with their supporters in an intimately curated space. The first and currently featured artist is James Murray, whose music I have been covering for over a decade now. We’re only halfway through the month, and so far, I have already published an exclusive track premiere [unavailable anywhere else], an interview with Murray [he’s usually very reserved about sharing his process and technique], and a shout-out to his imprint Slowcraft [including a 50% off discount code to anything in the label’s catalogue, exclusive to the members]. And, yes, I tend to believe that for only $1 a month, as a subscriber, you get immense value for your contribution, not to mention that every dollar raised will go back to the artist! So, I feel very optimistic about the entire project and (on some mornings) proud.

But there is another thing that has been happening behind the scenes. As I began to highlight this artist and spend more time with his sound throughout the month, I started to truly connect with his music on a level much deeper than ever before. Yes, I have already lauded his 2022 album, Careful Now, as one of the best of that year, but as I listened to it again and again and again, it started to open up beyond its sonic medium. It became more than just music – a conversation between a composer and a listener, and suddenly… I really heard. This active and heightened experience of listening reminded me of the very early days of discovering the beauty of music – when I used to nestle with an album for months and years at a time. In the last greatly accelerating decades of social media, algorithms, and time-sliced attention spans, I feel like I’ve been robbed of that. And now, I’m bringing it all back. 

Today’s track premiere is from Murray’s upcoming EP, Clearings, scheduled to be released via Home Normal in April. It’s an alternative mix of one of the pieces from Careful Now, showcasing the evolution of the track with an intimate glimpse into its transition and the final shape. Read more about this alternate version directly from James on Headphone Community.

TRACK PREMIERE : James Murray - Clearings (Unmasked Mix)

An atmospheric ambient piece based on samples of dual violins (live performance in Arambol, 2020) through loopers and multifx, and reversed / resampled through numerous effects.

PURPOSE

This is the soundtrack of quiet kings the ones who made it, but still feel everything. Late-night drives through Dubai. Whiskey-soaked thoughts in penthouses. Gold watches ticking in empty rooms. Billionaire Blues is luxury wrapped in emotion: smooth vocals, cinematic keys, lo-fi drums, and soul that whispers louder than wealth.

For the ones who never post but always own. For the heirs, the hidden, and the haunted.

This isn’t flex music.
It’s reflection music.
Luxury with scars.

Billionaire Blues

I got the nickname "Glitch" from  co-workers when I was working at a mine up in the mountains north of Breckinridge. When it's cold we would work out side or driving tractors for 45 mins and then jump in a work truck and warm up for 20 minutes. One day I left my phone paired with the stereo in the work truck. I was operating an excavator near by when some of the guys jumped in the truck to warm up. When they cranked the truck on- my phone paired and Apex Twin or Autechre came on over the stereo. I had to try to explain what I referred to as "glitch music"- so, being a bunch of hicks, they called me Glitch from that point forward. I'm using this account to motivate me to finish tracks and get better at producing my music. I travel all over North America for work and take machines with me so I can occupy myself in my motel room instead of hanging out in bars. I used to name each track after the city I was in when I began the track. Now that I'm finishing tracks- the character of each track is more developed I think. I would very much appreciate any feedback on my music as I don't share it with anyone I know. Thank you.
