Arriving three years after Telephone Jim Jesus' (AKA George Chadwick's) auspicious solo debut, 2004’s A Point Too Far To Astronaut, Anywhere out of the Everything offers further exposition of the themes and methods of its predecessor, but while that last album was celebrated for a lush etherea punctuated by bright bursts of rhythm and light, this one works its duality to the fullest throughout.

The end result is a multihued textile of living song that can be admired both for its constituent parts—mini opuses with aural narratives unto themselves—and as a subtly evolving whole. We are left to contemplate an album ultimately borderless, but so perfectly defined by one man’s path and the many avenues he’s explored, both in and out of the world.
