What others are saying about The Jimmy C:

"The Jimmy C's brain is a working model of Picasso's Guernica cross-bred with a Jim Flora illustraion and 'Glamour and Fame' is its musical incarnation - full of unfathomable layering and simplistic genius. He is a the right kind of freak."

Stu Manchu II, Esq. (Sons Of Lee marvin)

The Jimmy C - Glamour & Fame

The Jimmy C - Glamour & Fame (2009)

Glamour & Fame is a breakthrough album for The Jimmy C. It marks the end of a 2 year recording session (lunch breaks and weekends mostly) which produced all the songs for Glamour & Fame, the entire Hyde & Seek soundtrack album and another album's worth of leftovers. The production on Glamour & Fame merely hints at the low-fi garage sound of the earlier albums, this time The Jimmy C sound like they were recorded in a real studio with a big budget (though it's really home recording on no budget with minimum gear). This is music for people with low attention spans (or ADD), short, fun, catchy, concise songs averaging about one-and-a half-minutes in length. Kinks, Zombies, Turtles, Left Banke & Beach Boys influences pop out here and there but the sound is wholly original. It's as difficult to place into a specific genre as a Ween album, diverse in style as Supergrass and not far removed from either band's ethic of make the music that you want, not make the music others want. Each tune segues into the next making the flow of the album bring you up or down as it pleases. In some places the songs flow into each other like a classical suite like a "concept album" but The Jimmy C don't hold with such self-indulgent ideas, they simply hit their goal of making short enjoyable tunes of no fixed genre.

The Jimmy C - Hyde & Seek (Sound Track Album)

The Jimmy C - Hyde & Seek (Original Sound Track Album) (2009)

Hyde & Seek is the "original motion picture soundtrack" of the fictional 1960's spy thriller of the same name. The album (using instrumental songs and dialogue & sound effects) pieces together the story of special agent Roland Hyde - smug over-achiever turned double-O-agent. The main theme takes on various styles, from dreamy/psychedellic lullaby to beat club rave-up to jazzy walking bass spy-blues. Hyde & Seek, as a soundtrack album, suffers little from the lack of an actual motion picture, the music conjures the drama and the B-Movie style dialogue acts as an interesting segue to the variations on the main theme. Hyde & Seek is for fans of John Barry, Roy Budd and 60's spy movie soundtracks in general.

The Jimmy C - The Jimmy C (self titled)

The Jimmy C - The Jimmy C (2006)

The self-titled second album from The Jimmy C presents the listener a more rock sound with breakthrough innovations in Low-Fi recording - still using only 4-Track cassette and stereo digital polishing. The Jimmy C are even more "songy" this time around, yet still very eclectic with only 2 full instrumental tracks. The Ennio Morricone tinged "El Deserto..." paints a broad desolate vista and make a perfect soundtrack to a never-realised spaghetti western. The vicious stumbling "Your Corpse Is A Whore" (brutal title!) falls off the back of a drunk & beaten horse and walks straight into the poppy "I Want Her", but as if to make sure we don't think The Jimmy C are taking themselves too seriously, they've thrown in "The Ballad Of Myron Bunt" & "The Ballad Of Byron Munt" both roughly 20 sec long and showcasing the sillier side of country music. The song "Hi-Fi In Low-Fi" was pieced together from "Optigan" rhythm loops (see:
www.optigan.com) with guitar and percussion added on to the loop track. As a bonus at the end of the album they've put the all 16 tracks of the previous album ("Project E.G.O") playing simultaneously. "The Jimmy C" is another difficult album to nail to a genre. If you liked "Project E.G.O" you'll certainly like this one or, if you like the music of Ennio Morricone, Crazy Horse, The Zombies, The Supersuckers and Ween you may be mildly offended by this album.

The Jimmy C - Project E.G.O.

The Jimmy C - Project E.G.O. (2005)

The Debut album from The Jimmy C. Recorded in 2005 on 4-Track Cassette (using primitive computer software to make "reduction mixes" then back onto the 4-Track), this collection of Guitar Instrumentals with Blusey-Rock/funk/folk/punk/soundtrack tunes presents an eclectic sound of a Band still deciding weather they want to be instrumental or not. It's a few tentative steps forward in song writing for The Jimmy C, breaking away from the safe (mostly instrumental) music of early recordings and heading towards a much more "songy" sound. With 6 instrumentals and 7 and a half vocal tracks (track 12 is only half a song) the emphasis is still firmly on the instrumental side of The Jimmy C. Notable tracks are: "Deep Holy Love" with it's Prince meets Beck in a car accident Jesus-love funk, "Black Suits On The Beach" sounds like 1965 fuzzy Mosrite Ventures and "Gone Are The Days", a Calexico (ish) look at slightly depressing American Folk. This experimental debut surprised The Jimmy C more than anyone else and gave them the confidence to finally show other people (and the world) what they could do.
