"State of the Art (A.E.I.O.U.)" appears on Regions of Light and Sound of God, the 2013 debut solo album from My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James. The credits read like a one-man operation: James wrote it, produced it, engineered it and played on it, with Dave Givan behind the drum kit. Rick Kwan mixed the track, with Kevin Ratterman assisting.
The album took its name from Lynd Ward's Gods' Man, a 1929 novel told entirely in pictures, which landed in James's hands just as he was weighing whether to make a record on his own. A song this self-made is a fitting calling card for a frontman stepping out from his band.
