Shotgun Jimmie Announces 'Everything, Everything' LP

BY Alex HudsonPublished Feb 19, 2013

Since the breakup for Shotgun & Jaybird, Canuck songwriter Jim Kilpatrick has released a string of solo works as Shotgun Jimmie. The latest of these is Everything, Everything, due out March 26 through You've Changed Records.

The album was recorded by Jimmie using a four-track in a snowy cabin next to Lake Clementi, MB. He performed the songs largely by himself, although there is a small scattering of guests including Julie Doiron. The sonic touchstones reportedly range from Guided By Voices to acoustic psych to sci-fi.

A press release notes, "This is not the story of a love-wounded man, lost within his own beard, singing sad heartbreak, reclusive. No! Jimmie's gone to the woods to sing the joys of love, and travel, and sunny climates! Like the bioluminescence, he's positively aglow!"

All told, the album includes 16 songs. These were laid down following Kilpatrick's tour as a member of John K. Samson's backing band. Scroll past the tracklist to stream the rocking album opener "Standing in a Line," which clocks in at barely more than a minute.

Everything, Everything follows 2011's Transistor Sister.
