Indie Artist j ember Brings Along S. Carey For Captivating New Single “Full Size Render”
Canadian singer-songwriter j ember will be releasing his new EP Full Size Render in the coming weeks. From the release is the title track, which features backing vocals from Bon Iver’s S. Carey, creating something both soothing and enticing.
“It started on acoustic guitar, I was listening to a lot of Nick Drake and Joni Mitchell, playing around with different tunings. I eventually brought it to Duncan Hood and we recorded the guitar, drums, bass, and slide guitar onto tape with Braden Sauder from Marquee Sound, an old movie theatre reconverted into a recording studio. S. Carey provided backing vocals and Joe Visciano mixed. It’s about seeing all sides of every argument / situation, “the big picture.”“
The rustic charm of vintage singer-songwriters and their stories comes alive with j’s smooth guitar melody and journal-like lyricism. There’s a poignant sense of apathy in his voice, but a warmth in his songwriting that makes everything okay.
