It was absolutely impossible for me to pass up listening to a band called The Jimmy Cake. I expected a bout of disposable pop, something frantic, sugary and forgettable. Not so. The Jimmy Cake is anything but. They’re (at least) a nine member band out of Dublin making improvisational rock with plenty of percussion and wind instruments that give the music a bit of an Irish flavor. Did you see that high school band performing DJ Shadow songs? Well imagine a similar band interpreting Beowulf with their instruments, or performing Mogwai songs. You’d come close to imagining the epic jamming of The Jimmy Cake.

Pretty music! Very relaxing…
especially "This Used to be the Future" and "Are You Alright?"
I definately see the hardcore beowolf marching band rock in this one and even though it brings me back to my not so cool days of band class and I am loving it.

Good stuff!
Reminds me of the Shipping News a bit.
The Opposite of Addiction = musical orgasm. Holy shit.
