About the Music.

James Arenas is a musician and songwriter born in Queens, NY, and raised in Colombia.  His songs synthesize the liquid, melancholic, undulating, dark dreamscape of Colombia; and the shadowy sounds of Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen.  His work is produced by long-time collaborator, Jason Binnick.  The music is moody, atmospheric and cinematic.  Influences include Ennio Morricone, Scott Walker, Totó la Momposina, Tom Waits, Chavela Vargas, and David Lynch.
