James TweedyJames Tweedy spent his formative years in Los Angeles playing in a handful of bands, namely indie-darlings, Sunday’s Best and LA hardcore-punk outfit, The Bronx. After leaving Los Angeles, he moved to the countryside of his hometown of Vancouver, Canada and emerged from this season with a new sound that echoes with themes of redemption, eternity and exploring the space between Creator and created.First Love EP, released 11 October 20111.

Majesty"...that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." - 1 Peter 2:9I spent my formative years in Los Angeles, after moving down from Canada at the age of 17. Coming up through the independent music scene, I played in a handful of bands, some more well-known than others - perhaps most notably, Sunday’s Best and as a founding member of LA hardcore-punk band, The Bronx.I ended up leaving The Bronx in 2007, without any kind of formal public announcement or explanation. It was apparent that it was time for me to move on as I felt the call of my life was pulling me elsewhere. The idea I had been wrestling with that accelerated my departure from the band was rediscovering the reality of the faith I'd been introduced to in my early teens, perhaps because it stood in such a stark contrast to the life I was living in the band. I had arrived at the idea that God either exists or He doesn’t – and we need to live according to that reality. Choosing not to believe in God has no bearing on His existence, He's either there or He's not. What we think about it doesn’t really matter. Truth is truth regardless of our perception and at the end of our lives we're all accountable for what we've done and the way we've lived. And that's where the beautiful, cleansing grace of Jesus enters in and washes all of our mess away, stripping us of the poor choices of our past, regardless of what we've done, and clothing us in the white, spotless, perfection of Jesus. All we have to do is believe in His Name and His finished work upon the Cross, where He conquered sin, death and the devil once and for all - and we can be restored in right relationship to our God who created us and loves us. After a final year in Los Angeles it was apparent that the seasons of my life had changed and so I returned to my hometown of Vancouver. During that time I recognized that I still very much had a desire to continue to create music, something I've always loved doing. Some friends and I decided on a sound that fit the songs I'd been writing that also resonated with us personally and we set off to record this project. Sonically, it shares more in common with the shoegaze scene of the early-90’s than any of my former bands and it was a departure from my acoustic demos but it seemed to work, so we went with it.My hope is that these songs will help you express your heart in worship towards your Creator and He will draw you ever closer to Him as you make Him the pursuit of your life."Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." (2 Cor. 5:17)Western Collective Recordings © 2011
