A forty-seven minute drone piece, Happy Days, leaves the listener with variations on a single note without the feeling of dullness whatsoever. Jim begins with a simple acoustic guitar and builds sporadically from there. Released on Revenant Records, and recorded at the steam room in Chicago, this piece features the likes of avant-guitarist Henry Kaiser, David Grubbs of Gastr Del Sol, and multi-instrumentalist John McEntire of Tortoise.
Mixing drifting guitar parts like that of John Fahey, and modern classical and ambient music- the eclectic and experimental side of Jim shines brightly. Like the title, this piece leaves the listener with a happy feeling, and a bright outlook on whats next. Probably the happiest drone music you will hear for awhile.
