James writes using an organic method to tease out subconscious prose and avoids over-writing and re-writes. His songs are a means to document internal dialog without edit, to learn about himself. The result is raw, simple, stripped but an emotionally infused sound.

"I did not know I had a social conscience until I started writing songs."
