Living in Portland since 2001, he's tried to explore all the ways that he can challenge himself and be an artist. This has led him to ballets, scoring film and plays, and always digging for more treasure. Nick's 6th album, Primary Perception, refers to the gut instinct or sincere spontaneous emotions you have in a given moment, versus the calculated thought-out response that comes after. Nick took that approach to the recording process, gathering people in the studio who wanted to be there and figuring out what song to play only once they were all assembled. The album features many musicians who have played with Nick in the past, including Dave Depper (Fruit Bats), Scott Magee (Y La Bamba), Matt Dabrowiak (Menomena), Sean Flinn (Jolie Holland), Jason Leonard (Loch Lomond), Daniel Hunt (Ages and Ages), John Whaley (Portland Cello Project), Andrew Zilar (Anne) and Wilson Vediner (Point Juncture, WA). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e REVIEW \u003cbr\u003e Were Nick Jaina to completely abandon melody and meter, his songs would still hold merit solely on his strength as a writer. Seven albums of exploration into love, sex, religion and death have already established Jaina as one of the Northwest's foremost songsmiths and with A Narrow Way the troubadour moves dangerously close to matching the intensity of his musical arrangements to the heartbreaking momentum of his storytelling. --Willamette Week\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[Nick Jaina]'s made a spectacular jawdropper in the just released A Bird In The Opera House, an album that startles and makes you swoon to it and its easy beauty. --Daytrotter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53556701135222,"sku":"0857674003109","price":15.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_1331114_1504337_20241025125952.jpg?v=1729841601","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0857674003109-primary-perception","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
