J was born in New Orleans with an umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and music in his blood. You will find him there every few years, wandering the 4 am streets in search of something no tavern or brothel can offer.\n\nIt is said that he first made a guitar scream under the orange haze glow of the Los Angeles wilderness, amidst a vast sea of withered smiles and shattered dreams. Some say he is possessed by the mojo voodoo. Still others describe him as an obsessive madman, unwilling to think twice about locking himself in a basement dungeon for months, until the next collection of songs emerges, lest his head explodes.\n\nNow he awaits the next Colorado blizzard, with a drawl and a tan, and a tremolo twang, hoping the frozen blanket of silence will calm the fire that is hard-boiling his heart. He is out there, somewhere in the humdrum, disguised as one of us.", "photo" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/img/shadows_from_the_underground.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/shadows_from_the_underground/", "albums" : [{ "sku" : "sftu-musingsinst", "name" : "Musings ballads and paradoxes (instrumental)", "artist" : { "name" : "Shadows from the Underground", "page" : "shadows_from_the_underground" }, "release_date" : "2011-08-14", "genres" : ["Alt Rock","Instrumental Rock"], "vocals" : "instrumental", "moods" : ["melancholic","reflective","dark","tense","dramatic","gritty"], "uses" : ["emotional storytelling","documentary","film score","trailer","podcast background","interview bed"], "energy" : 3, "instrumentation" : ["electric guitar","rock band instrumentation","instrumental rock"], "sounds_like" : ["Tom Waits","Pink Floyd","The Pixies"], "summary" : "Gritty, melancholic instrumental alt-rock with electric guitar-driven arrangements, suited for emotional storytelling, documentaries, and film scores.", "cover" : "https://magnatune.com/music/Shadows%20from%20the%20Underground/Musings%20ballads%20and%20paradoxes%20(instrumental)/cover_400.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/albums/sftu-musingsinst/", "api_url" : "https://magnatune.com/api/albums/sftu-musingsinst", "buy_url" : "https://magnatune.com/buy/album?sku=sftu-musingsinst" },{ "sku" : "sftu-musings", "name" : "Musings ballads and paradoxes", "artist" : { "name" : "Shadows from the Underground", "page" : "shadows_from_the_underground" }, "release_date" : "2010-09-11", "genres" : ["Alt Rock","Vocal"], "vocals" : "vocals", "moods" : ["melancholic","reflective","dark","gritty","dramatic","tense"], "uses" : ["emotional storytelling","documentary","podcast background","film score","trailer","interview bed"], "energy" : 3, "instrumentation" : ["electric guitar","vocal","rock band","gritty vocals"], "sounds_like" : ["Beck","Tom Waits","The Pixies"], "summary" : "Edgy, gritty alt-rock with melancholic and dramatic vocals and electric guitar; suits emotional storytelling, documentaries, and film scores.", "cover" : "https://magnatune.com/music/Shadows%20from%20the%20Underground/Musings%20ballads%20and%20paradoxes/cover_400.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/albums/sftu-musings/", "api_url" : "https://magnatune.com/api/albums/sftu-musings", "buy_url" : "https://magnatune.com/buy/album?sku=sftu-musings" }] }, "license" : { "music_license" : "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 1.0 (CC BY-NC-SA 1.0)", "music_license_url" : "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/", "listening" : "Stream the free previews, or buy an album for $8 to download it in MP3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, OGG or WAV. 100% of the price goes to the musician.", "non_commercial" : "Non-commercial projects may use the music under CC BY-NC-SA 1.0: credit the artist and Magnatune, and share alike.", "projects" : "Magnatune members may use any Magnatune music in their projects, commercial or not (videos, films, podcasts, games, apps, websites, adverts), including work for clients, under the Magnatune Project Licence.
