Inspired by the sparse and confessional qualities of Liz Phair’s early portastudio recordings, James decided to create her own musical journal to share and process personal anecdotes. Her modern folk production and poetic songwriting links the sounds of classic folk artists like Joan Baez and Steeleye Span to a 21st century context. James wrestles with guilt, purpose, and jealousy through vivid narratives in the songs that make up her vast self-releases. This fall, five years since her first upload and over a dozen releases later, James will share her new four-track EP, Concession Stand Girl, while making her debut on Carpark. On the title track for Concession Stand Girl that opens the EP, James sings the inner monologue of an unappreciated ticket-taker at a high school football game. James plucks a sparkly banjo and sings details of the concession stand girl’s relationship to each of the spectators who must go through her to enter the game. “Although seemingly insignificant, the concession stand girl must interact with each spectator as they enter the football game. Despite being unable to physically see the game, inside of her head she narrates her relationship to the people at the game.” The track “Anywhere Else” sits in contrast to the rest of the EP, being the only song where James plays guitar instead of banjo. The last song written for the EP, “Anywhere Else” describes the tense emotions that come from comparing yourself to others in the eyes of your partner. “The protagonist is convincing herself, as well as her partner, that she could leave at any moment. She doesn’t want to be taken for granted anymore.” “Big Blue World” is a touching closer to the EP, where James sings about finding her way back to the place that feels most like home. James examines the fleeting nature of ambition and asks what really creates the feeling of contentment. Describing the song’s lyrics James says, “You can achieve everything you want, but sometimes it doesn’t feel like anything compared to just feeling at home and feeling who you are deep down.” Artist Naomi Alligator Genre Folk Label Car Park Buying Options 12" Coloured Vinyl EP/Mini Album Format 12" , Coloured Vinyl , EP/Mini Album Condition New Country UK Track Listings Concession Stand Girl Momma Anywhere Else Big Blue World Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Naomi Alligator and more from Folk View Product Quick View Naomi Alligator Double Knot Folk | Carpark Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 15th July 2022 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Naomi Alligator Double Knot £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Carpark Records SKU: CAK161LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 15th July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Daniel Hecht Guitar Folk | MORNING TRIP | 1LP Released 24th November 2023 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Daniel Hecht Guitar £28.00 Genre: Folk Label: MORNING TRIP SKU: LPMTP007 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rab Noakes I’m Walkin’ Here Folk | Neon Records | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 20th November 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Rab Noakes I’m Walkin’ Here £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Neon Records SKU: NEONLP017 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 20th November 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Josh Ritter The Beast In Its Tracks Folk | Pytheas Recordings | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 6th October 2023 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Josh Ritter The Beast In Its Tracks £29.00 Genre: Folk Label: Pytheas Recordings SKU: LPPYTH021C Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 6th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Welcome Wagon, The Precious Remedies Against Satans Devices Folk | Asthmatic Kitty Records | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 9th July 2012 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Welcome Wagon, The Precious Remedies Against Satans Devices £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Asthmatic Kitty Records SKU: AKR092LP Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 9th July 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fuzzy Lights Burials Folk | Meadows | 1LP Released 2nd July 2021 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fuzzy Lights Burials £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Meadows SKU: MDW007 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd July 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nicki Bluhm Avondale Drive Folk | Compass | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 3rd June 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nicki Bluhm Avondale Drive £22.00 Genre: Folk Label: Compass SKU: COM47871 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 3rd June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Barna Howard Quite A Feelin Folk | Loose Music | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 12th May 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Barna Howard Quite A Feelin £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Loose Music SKU: VJLP223 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th May 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View First Aid Kit Tender Offerings EP Folk | Columbia | 10", EP/Mini Album Released 10th September 2018 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders First Aid Kit Tender Offerings EP £13.00 Genre: Folk Label: Columbia SKU: 19075875017 Formats: 10", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 10th September 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Neil McSweeney A Coat Worth Wearing Folk | Hudson Records | 1LP Released 10th March 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Neil McSweeney A Coat Worth Wearing £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Hudson Records SKU: HUD002LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ray Cooper Between The Golden Age & The Promised Land Folk | Westpark | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 25th May 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ray Cooper Between The Golden Age & The Promised Land £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Westpark SKU: 87372 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 25th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
