Little jim fantasy releases new video out today

Bordeaux-based heavy prog-psych mongers LITTLE JIMI are treating us to their delightful fantasy new video "Palace Afternoon". The mesmerizing song was taken from their new record 'The Cantos', to be released worldwide 20.08 (digital) and 17.09 (LP) through Mrs Red Sound. Enjoy "Palace Afternoon" right now, courtesy of It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine.

LITTLE JIMI is much more than just a heavy psychedelic project, it is a fascinating sonic and visual universe, in which childhood's dreams, but also delusions, are taking a both poetic and apocalyptic dimension. With its reverberating ghost voices, grinding guitars and crashing drums, the album’s third canto "Palace Afternoon" is setting up a disturbing and wicked sonic atmosphere. The video was directed by Seb Antoine.

The band comment: “Palace Afternoon is a very important song. The story we are telling all along the album really gets serious at this point, the characters are confronting their own demons. The album’s most relevant elements (characters, places...) are all featured in this song. Our film director Seb Antoine did a great job visually translating what we exactly had in mind.”

LITTLE JIMI's upcoming record 'The Cantos' is none other than the sonic initiation story of Jimi, a strange kid whose schizophrenic personality is a doorway toward an in-depth introspective and fanciful musical universe. Space rock, trippy doom and a bit of grunge are perfectly mixed here, bearing elements as disparate as hypnotic and mythological riffs in the vein of Mr. Bison or Elephant Tree, and All Them Witches's creative subtlety. The artwork - by Emy Rojas from Arrache-toi Un Oeil art studio - illustrates the album's six tracks by staging Jimi and his friend Katus (teddy bear/monster as strange as dangerous). Watch their previous video "Last Cantos".

French outfit LITTLE JIMI was born in 2017. The same year, they release their eponymous debut EP that launches the disturbing adventures of Jimi the kid, told over the trio’s releases. Bordeaux-based underground prodigies’ psychedelic and progressive rock is intense, audacious and thrilling. Their fuzzy 60s/70s-inspired notes draw heady and powerful compositions, modernized by a colorful heavy sound.

In November 2018, LITTLE JIMI ink deal on Mrs Red Sound for the release of their debut album ‘Ep.1’, and start touring with international stoner scene major acts like Mars Red Sky, The Necromancers or Belzebong. On stage, the band’s exaltation features strength, energy and passion, as you can see with bands like Earthless or All Them Witches. LITTLE JIMI’s two guitars together build a massive wall of fuzz through which listeners will likely never notice the absence of the bass guitar.

The band are about to release their sophomore studio album 'The Cantos', they explain: "The Cantos project - music and artwork - is inspired by writings about travel, such as Homer's Odyssey. It has been a common thread for the whole musical creation, we knew where we wanted to go from the beginning. We took as time as we needed to write and create this record, we didn't rush so nothing was left to chance. The Cantos is an item that we are really proud of." Recorded at Mana Studio (Chateauneuf, France) by Manuel Meslier and mastered par Pierre Etchandy, their upcoming album 'The Cantos' is coming out on August 20th 2021 on digital and on September 17th 2021 on LP via Mrs Red Sound, the record label created by Mars Red Sky.
