Sony Music has revealed that the debut album for Vydamo – the solo project for Art vs Science’s Jim Finn – will be released in two weeks time.
The album, armed with stunning cover imagery (above), is very much a labour of love, crafted affectionately across the time Jim received a kidney transplant.
“To me the whole thing wasn’t a big deal,” he says of his medical situation. “It just meant I couldn’t go travelling. Sitting there on dialysis, I had time to trial different drum beats or keyboard sounds. I really planned it out and made sure I knew exactly how every song went. So by the time I got into the studio, it was just a matter of recording it all live.”
With 13 tracks in the bag and Triple J already championing the ‘Vydamo’ cause, all’s set for Mister Finn to conquer the charts when the album drops into stores on Friday July 12.
