New Releases From Jimmy
Jimmy Tamborello makes music under the names of James Figurine, with Ben
Gibbard & Jenny Lewis as The Postal Service, and also as Dntel. Jimmy has
made a Dntel album for Sub Pop and it comes out on April 24th, 2007.
Thick with Tamborellošs signature electronic washes and genius beat
placement, Dumb Luck is an album lyrically as much about human distance as
connection. With vocal contributions from friends Jenny Lewis (Rilo Kiley),
Edward Droste (Grizzly Bear), Valerie Trebeljahr and Markus Acher (Lali
Puna), Mia Doi Todd, Grant Olsen and Sonya Westcott (Arthur & Yu), Andrew
Broder (Fog), Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes) and Christopher and Jennifer Gunst
(Mystic Chords of Memory), the organic instrumentation by Chris Hathwell
(drummer, Moving Units) and Paul Larson (guitarist, The Minor Canon), Dumb
Luck is manipulated, chopped and pasted amidst Tamborellošs skittish beats,
house clicks, organ washes and dreamily pixelated symphonies. The result is
at once understatedly epic, ethereal and concrete.
Jimmy is a curious and interesting dude and hešs created what he calls ŗa 40
minute drone piece˛ which is really him alone in the studio doing what he
does in long-format. Wešre giving away copies of this on CD if you pre-order
the record at subpop.com and they are super limited so hurry up.
Also! We are having a Dntel remix contest
