Matthew Flores Brilliantly played electronic sounds and synthpop, all beautifully executed by this singer and star of the 1993 cult horror classic "Night Owl".
Favorite track: Rip Tide.

marytiefenbrunn The first sentence of the Gashouse review of "Everything" sums up where I'm coming from - and where I am now. Loving James' melodies and rich vocals. Favorite track: Everything.

Everything 04:26
Everything God, the ghosts were here They picked up the bones I left seated Hard as any candy Sweet depleted centers eaten Hollow lanes Were made to take me speeding Same as anyone who misused the moon And seasons God, the souls are here They’re cutting down the curtains Everything, everything Went away, went away And I wanted to believe in it Given all that I had done To see the day Everything, everything Fell away, fell away And all at once Variety season’s high Opened all utopian spaces wide Everything, everything Blew away, blew away Then I started to believe in it Throwing all that I had won Into the day Everything, everything Flew away, flew away And all the air between my Cells breathing life Lighting all notion of reason afire God, it’s six below I’m glad it’s not much further Soft as any marshmallow The exit’s easier Road to wall A favorite place for speeding Same as anyone Who needs a free star sweeping God, I’m mostly here I’m cutting up the curtain Everything, everything Went away, went away And I wanted to believe in it Given all that I had done To see the day Everything, everything Fell away, fell away And all at once Variety season’s high Opened all utopian spaces wide Everything, everything Blew away, blew away Then I started to believe in it Throwing all that I had won Into the day Everything, everything Flew away, flew away And all the air between my Cells breathing life Lighting all notion of reason afire

Hidden Mind 03:46
Hidden Mind Hate is over It has had its fun The way it threw away A few someones Heaven holiday In a sunbeam ray Is aching In a new way One more layer yet to go Until the hidden mind Shows you all you need to know And what you left behind Hand it over to the flow Unhook, unrewind Fame is over It is on the run Getting even was Its only stardom Joy nation A world away Is waiting For a new day One more layer yet to go Until the hidden mind Shows you all you need to know And what you left behind Hand it over to the flow Unhook, unrewind Hell is over Burned it to the ground Left a mark on all The fire found Peace paraded In a poison play A peacock On Doomsday One more layer yet to go Until the hidden mind Shows you all you need to know And what you left behind Hand it over to the flow Unhook, unrewind Fate is over It weighed a ton Couldn’t breathe right Smothered loved ones Heaven holiday In a sunbeam ray Is aching In a new way One more layer yet to go Until the hidden mind Shows you all you need to know And what you left behind Hand it over to the flow Unhook, unrewind

Frame 04:08
Frame When the time Moves in from behind Aching for a re-do Staring at the blind spots You splashed inside Witnesses and crimes It will be seen decreeing “Take it, tide!” And when the sun Weighs on everyone Tearing up for nothing Watching our re-run Run away with some Good for nothing bum It will sing discreetly “Death is done!” This frame is weak- Kneed in ways The backboard bent The gild is flaked The borders blur In halo haze When your memory Rides you in reverse Drive a haunted highway Cast a kind curse Bumper car brains Loaded trunk is filled It’ll stand up shouting “Heaven! Hearse!” This door’s unhinged The breezes blow Kissing the jamb The heave-ho The bolts are blessed The windows know And when the moon Bends to kiss the bough Leaving beads of sweat A trail to lives ago And your hair’s a mess Your shirt’s unpressed It will whisper kindly “Tears, flow!” This frame is weak- Kneed in ways The backboard bent The gild is flaked The borders blur In halo haze When your bones wake you let me know I’ll shake you gently Utter spells and blow The life force in Marrow has to go We’ll spell out together “Break it, grow!” This door’s unhinged The breezes blow Kissing the jamb The heave ho The bolts are blessed The windows know When the time Moves in from behind Aching for a re-do Staring at the blind spots You splashed inside Witnesses and crimes It will be seen decreeing “Take it, tide!”

Seed 05:13
Seed Garden party Is inside Open up Rust in lock Seed on tide Winded lift Life in tow Thought I could Get above the down below Way up here Latch and gate Took the key Took the hill To face the fate Weeded beds Frozen dirt There’s the sun There’s the sun Heat and hurt Holy wood Burning so Bloom is free This is what You need to know This is all it would be… This is all it would be… This is all it would All it would be… Valley said Deepest lies Planets sang World away Mega-size Smaller than a Carrot seed Bigger than All the wildflower Fields Fly about Star and house Windowpane separated Cat and mouse Holy wood Burning so Bloom is free This is what You need to know This is all it would be… This is all it would be… This is all it would All it would be…

Rip Tide 04:43
Rip Tide I was alive again It was holy Visions ensued and they told me You will meet wiser men here You’ll see To give it in, go for a ride Which end is up, it’s rip tide Forget yourself, I’ll take you This is what will remake you Into the blessed order chaos brings I was ten sizes then I was name free Tears were shed for the dead And the waking To give it in, go for a ride Which end is up, it’s rip tide Forget yourself, I’ll take you This is what will remake you Into the blessed order chaos brings I went beyond the bend And it woke me Time for unveiling Uncloaking To give it in, go for a ride Which end is up, it’s rip tide Forget yourself, I’ll take you This is what will remake you Into the blessed order chaos brings

Sun Roof 04:36
Sun Roof Cruising with you is cosmic Coasts arise at our calling Anywhere we stop we leave them With a taste of our special flavor This is why we go together Making news from our forever Aiming, feet off, we float there Taking on golden adventure How can we be any closer when The Kingdom Come is already done? Sun Roof… Tooling with you is timeless Road open, radio high Where we wind up matters less than taking each other places When we sing along to songs it vibrates all the cellular walls Of all the things around us Waking up under the boundless How can we be any closer when The Kingdom Come is already done? Sun Roof… Roaming with you is royal Stars of the Pacific Highway Blankets of fog will help us Mysterious twins activating forces Rise above the ocean Vehicle lift off, magic notion When we travel we take Inner stellar transportation How can we be any closer when The Kingdom Come is already done? Sun Roof…

The Goal 04:16
The Goal I know the goal Cope here with no one Phone’s cold Other guests are no shows I’m good to go I know the goal To own alone How you’re lifted Is the gift of it I hold the code Count on implosion Stoned throws Ghosts agree that was old I fail to fold How you’re gifted Is the lift of it I woke below Far from the nearest toll Car towed Every breath is solo High from the low How you’re lifted Is the gift of it How you’re gifted It is the lift of it I know the goal Grow here in the one Hands showed The story of a living soul I know the goal How you’re lifted Is the gift of it

Mirroring 03:20
Mirroring It is easy Walk up to it Then right through it Don’t think, just do it I don’t answer I’ve slipped into it Melted through it Be back in a minute I am on the other side I am reverse-eyed I found out because I tried Hey good people Look in here This is me And you couldn’t believe That I would be floating free I wave when I’m immersing And I couldn’t leave you that way Me hiding Life goes by wicked fast it seems But it isn’t really that way Mirroring Do what I do Press hands to it Belief will do it There’s nothing to it I am on the other side I am reverse-eyed I found out because I tried Hey good people Look in here This is me And you couldn’t believe That I would be floating free I wave when I’m immersing And I couldn’t leave you that way Me hiding Life goes by wicked fast it seems But it isn’t really that way Mirroring

Just Believe 06:18
Just Believe And so this only took an hour I was connected to your power I believe, yes I believe And I believe That we are as magic As we want to be Just believe I loved our mystical encounter Playing my songs on your sounder I believe, yes I believe And I believe We’re only instrumental If we’re playing Just believe
