Glamour & Fame pack shots.




































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)


"If I had a myspace page, he'd be in my top friends"

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.
