Album Review: Jimmy Junk Heart - Jimmy Junk Heart

This scruffy, bedroom-hatched EP from local artist Jimmy Hanson highlights many endearing qualities often found in debut garage-pop releases: lilting lo-fi melodies and refreshing hints of juvenility. Single Loose Blonde Haired Girl suffers for its stagnant progression and too-soft guitar, but its bridge especially evokes an addictive, sunny surf vibe. Meanwhile, wiggling, rolling basslines create a too-cool-for-school aesthetic in She Sang La La and High Roller. Sparse and at times withdrawn, this offering doesn't possess much dynamism. Instead it just casually floats along.
