Little Jimi: stream mind-blowing new album "The Cantos" in full!

French prog-psych shamans LITTLE JIMI unveil their upcoming album 'The Cantos' in its entirety today. The six breathtaking and narrative tracks launch a chaotic inner journey punctuated by ghostly vocals, grinding guitars and crashing drums. 'The Cantos' is due out this August 20th (digital) and September 17th (LP) trough Mrs Red Sky.

“Perhaps you, like Jimi, long for the adventure that only travel can bring, when you release yourself from the familiar and embrace the uncertainty of the strange” write Doomed & Stoned. LITTLE JIMI's upcoming record 'The Cantos' is an odd beautiful and poetic piece of work, that plays with the loud and groovy standards of the scene but with some exciting freshness. Space rock, trippy doom and a bit of grunge are perfectly mixed here, bearing elements as disparate as hypnotic and mythological riffs and creative subtlety.

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.
