Imagine an adventurous blend of pump-organ, trumpet, casio drum machines and saws, then mix this with catchy melodies and a tasteful guitar based foundation, and you’re ready for a perfect experience with Jim Protector. The result is an explosive cocktail for all who are charmed by indie-rock, electronica and bloody fingertips. You might want to compare it with the likings of Arab Strap, Motorpsycho, Granddaddy, Neutral Milk Hotel, Yo La Tengo, Dinosaur Jr. or the cure. Or you just might want to compare it with something else. Now in their final stage of preparing what will become their debut album, Jim Protector has been collaborating with Ken Stringfellow (The Posies, R.E.M., Big Star) to mix and refine the Jim Protector sound. A most charming cut with lo-fi legend Jad Fair (Half Japanese, Teenage Fanclub, Yo La Tengo++) will also be included. |
