Andrew St. James is pleased to announce that his new full length recording The Big Ole Veronica Apology Record will be released June 16th via Island Jar Records. A run of dates in support of the release begins at the Soda Bar in San Diego, CA on June 13th. In celebration of the completion of the record St. James has released a stunning live performance video of his song “Capital”
  
According to twenty-one year old songwriter Andrew St. James, “the millennial malaise is real.” Yet despite that, the prolific multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter has managed to craft a record that vibrates with energy; burnishing precise, eloquent pop songs to a high sheen with a sonic cloth woven of dizzy psychedelia. Born of a stranger-than-fiction life filled with intrigue and truly prodigious creative output, St.James is already barreling along at escape velocity. We are lucky to be caught up in the turbulent ripples spreading out behind him.     
 
St. James debut full length Doldrums was released in September 2013, followed by his sophomore release The Shakes in October 2014. “By this point I was involved with management in LA , started playing a lot more shows. Everything was looking up”. Then it got complicated. 
 
With one Veronica as a girlfriend and another as a manager, St. James found himself stuck; mired in a life of outrageous partying and constant waiting. After a bazaar year filled with strange happenstance and a move to Los Angeles, St. James found himself Veronica-less. "I never got a chance to apologize to the Veronica's for my part in our falling out. I decided I would make a record to serve that purpose." 
 
"The Veronica record is just an introduction to my work" says St. James. “Yet it’s also me shedding all of this extraneous pointlessness I was surrounded by. Freeing myself of the malaise. People have become desensitized; we’re aware of what’s going on now more than ever, but no one seems to care. If someday I can write manifestos more cohesive then catchy records perhaps I will. I just need to make people pay attention first.”
