May 07, 2008 - Los Angeles, CA – MLC PR announced today that Denver-based up and coming indie rock artist Michael James has signed on for their services in conjunction with the upcoming June release of his latest EP, “To Raise an Army for Love.” The heartfelt EP revolves around the two central ideas of love and war, while escaping the notion of typical love songs. Throughout the EP, James never abandons the single most important element in his music: his undeniable gift for pouring his heart into every song and allowing the listener to momentarily become the characters he sings about.
After the success of Michael James’ 2005 album “Everything We Used to Be,” he has set the stage to come back to the music scene in a big way. He has risen above a range of influences such as U2, Death Cab For Cutie, Sufjan Stevens, and Damien Rice to produce a sound that is rich with hook-driven melodies, a slice-of-life story telling, and atmospheric guitars.
“Michael James is a lyrical genius. His music is poetry in motion, and the indie music scene really needs more music with substance right now,” says president of MLC PR, Mona Loring.
“To Raise an Army for Love” was produced by Grammy-winner John Seymour (U2, Dave Matthews Band, Bouncing Souls) and mastered by Dom Maita (Plain White Ts, Fall Out Boy, Herbie Hancock). The EP is set to be officially released on June 24, 2008.
