Whether it’s collaborating with his band mates, recording guest vocals, or hand-picking opening acts, My Morning Jacket’s Yim Yames has always radiated a spirit of camaraderie with his fellow musician. Now Yames, along with his cousin and collaborator Johnny Quaid, are launching Removador Recordings and Solutions – an online platform to shine a light on some of the musicians that he admires and would like to share with the world. The label will also help connect the dots between an ever-growing artistic community that Yames is apart of, reflecting his eclectic taste and steadfast passion for music. Below are the details for Removador’s first three releases.

March 16 – Follow The Train – “Mercury” – “Mercury” is a nine-song psychedelic journey into musical space. A potent and volatile mixture that pays tribute to the shoe-gazers of the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, “Mercury” proves itself to be a compelling attraction to the ears.
