MP3: Jesse Payne – “Manhattan Project”

BY SWAPMEET LOUIE – OCTOBER 20, 2010

POSTED IN: NEWS SHORTS

I’m always amazed when I come across a song that suits my mood to a “T.”

Jesse Payne‘s “Manhattan Project” is one of those songs for me tonight. It’s mellow, pensive, and Payne’s vocals seem to ache with every word.

The song was released sometime last month, but since Payne’s new album, Nesting, is set to drop on November 9th, I thought it would be a good time to revisit it.

Here is how his official website describes the record:

Nesting is nature returning to its natural state. A homecoming. Through particles of equation, Jesse Payne and the talented group of musicians and engineers working with him have sculpted an image of what nesting may sound like. The sound of strategic calmness through its progression towards the unconditional post-war is an audio-painting of the notion, “through chaos, peace is inevitable.” The theory that the limbs of cycle spin continuously towards rehabilitation of dirt and bone provide the album with its contagious tendency for repeated listening.

“Strategic calmness” is definitely a fitting description to “Manhattan Project” for me. The song is so smooth in its tranquility that it accentuates the mood I’m in. All I feel like doing while spinning this song is kick back with my headphones, close my eyes, and just embrace the feeling.

Check out his MySpace site for more Nesting samples. Payne seems to find his center with relative ease… I’m looking forward to hearing more.

Again, Nesting drops on November 9th. Here are his remaining showdates:

10.28.10 – Stillwater- Birmingham, AL – 9pm

11.19.10 – Preservation Pub – Knoxville, TN – 9pm

12.10.10 – BottleTree – Birmingham, AL – 9pm
