Quirky UK-based psychedelic songsmith Jim Noir has just announced plans to release his imaginative debut album in the United States. Called Tower Of Love, the album will be out this July via UK indie My Dad Recordings. Noir has been getting all sorts of “genius” references and comparisons to Brian Wilson and Sgt. Peppers-era Beatles from the UK press. You can head over to his website to check out a few songs and videos and see what all the fuss is about. It IS pretty damn good, so I’d recommend taking a few minutes to take a listen.

Noir made his way to SXSW this year and will return to the US again this summer to play Lollapalooza and a series of club dates. We’ll get you info on the club dates as soon as they’re firmed up.

Keep him on your radar…
