Jimmy Cicero is on his ninth life. This round he's breathing slowly. "I Will Always Love You" b/w "On Your Side" finds him with the sentimental heart of a Brill Building composer and the croon of Roy Orbison getting his ass kicked. Tape echo, black leather, dried flowers in a vase. Pure Americana sitting too long in the sun.

After years of disappearing behind aliases, abandoned records, and a few wrong turns, Cicero is finally releasing music under his own name. His seasoned baritone drifts through glowing analog arrangements—equal parts living room, cathedral, and late-night AM radio. Written and produced in his small Los Angeles home studio, these songs feel less recorded than remembered, as if the tape had been rolling long before anyone pressed play. The dreaming and longing stretching far beyond its walls.
