What is it about music that doesn’t sound perfect? You can create the most precisely crafted pop song, yet it’ll still sound worse than the one next to it that is slightly off-time, or misses the odd note. Of course none of this can go so far that The Music itself actually sounds amateurish, but giving your music that “we don’t really give a shit vibe” does seem to make it cooler.
Which leads me to Shotgun Jimmie. Musically it’s all fine, gently strumming along while rarely becoming adventurous. It’s the vocals that sell me on it though. Random key changes pop up on a whim, lines seem to not end properly. The sound of a man who wants to tell a story, but still needs to get to the bar before it closes. And it’s the latter that usually wins.
Still Jimmie will be released on March 10 via You’ve Changed Records.
