When I Mean What I Say (10in)

Limited 10" vinyl pressing. Over three decades as the unassuming but pivotal figure behind some of Scotland's most iconic pop, Jim McCulloch steps out of the shadows and onto centre stage with his debut solo album. Lush and textured, delicate and intriguing, When I Mean What I Say is immersed in the melodic tapestries of Laurel Canyon but rooted in Jim's life in his hometown of Glasgow. Written in Donegal's wild Atlantic coast and recorded pre-Lockdown in Glasgow's downtown Gorbals district, the warmth of the album's classic pop and it's lyrical openness transports the listener to an emotional and harmonic timelessness far from 2020's claustrophobia.
