- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -

  Shayfer James can be described pointedly as a myth in wolfÆs clothing.
  Referred to by his rapidly growing group of followers as The Villain King of
  New JerseyÆs underground noirpop music scene, Mr. James is devilishly
  captivating and deliciously unusual. From the worn bottom of his ripped black
  boots, to the wrinkled top of his black pinstriped hat, Shayfer James is the
  portrait of vagabond royalty. A man of bewitching grace, grisly humor,
  profound story telling, and whiskey-flavored wit. The self defined ôspawn of
  the elephant and the empressö, Mr. James attributes his musical and lyrical
  abilities to his early exposure to pipe smoke, demons, and jestersö and his
  oddly chivalrous nature to his life-long apprenticeship to L.V.S.ö (his
  motherÆs father).

  When Shayfer James approaches the piano, there is a certain power and
  mischievous charm that surrounds him. A bewitching sense of foreboding builds
  as his fingers touch the piano, and as he begins to sing, we are immersed in
  his darkly lyrical and evocative stories. His wry poetry is stitched
  seamlessly to peculiar arrangements that are simultaneously unsettling and
  familiar. Mr. James lures us into a devious world where the gods tear wings
  from angels and every man has a siren waiting to devour him.

  Mr. JamesÆ gift for songwriting is singular. The songs on his first
  full-length album, The Owl & The Elephant range from beautifully sad to
  frightening and furious, and his performances are tailored to match. His style
  is theatrical, but never contrived.
