Vagus the Wandering Nerve (MMXIX Edition) is the 2019 reissue of Jammes Luckett’s raw, adventurous, bombastic and bold debut full-length studio album.
Vagus is a gapless concept album that follows an inquisitive extraterrestrial’s tour of planet Earth and the kooky behaviors of its inhabitants. The story unfolds through a smorgasbord of classic and futuristic pop, film music, mythology, hip hop, new wave, and mid-80s to early 90s alternative rock.
The album’s namesake is the longest nerve in the human body. It’s related to ‘gut feelings’, taste, hearing, memory, and depression. Vagus the Wandering Nerve connects this emotion-connected tissue to a narrative throughline, while taking the listener on a continuous, unpredictable journey.
From its mysterious opening strains to the epic grand finale, Vagus offers modern audiences mental and emotional stimulation through storytelling: Walls of catchy, melodic vocals and harmonies. Pensive, narrative lyrics. Tire-slashing guitars. Whiplash-inducing structural turns. Thick layers of instrumentation. Sophisticated pop poignancy.
Fittingly, the album was created with a mixture of lo-fi and hi-fidelity techniques to tell a tale about human imperfection. Raw, homemade 4-track and digital recordings were combined with the modern studio wizardry of co-producer/engineer David “Dizmix” Lopez (Ice Cube, Beyonce, Ludacris) and a few guest musicians to create a unique experience.
Audio samples coming soon. Also, check back for a free download of the digital booklet in PDF format.
