about

Résurgence des Imajinary Friends, un projet aux contours obscures impliquant Ricky Maymi, Tim Digulla et Travis Threkel. Sur cet opus des cisellements électriques de guitares, des basses labyrinthiques, des jeux facétieux improvisés dans un laboratoire chimique secret, du danger, quelques invité.e.s magiques ... Une introduction à une vie non-cynique dans laquelle connaisseurs.ses comme explorateurs.trices y trouveront un compagnon solide pour de tortueuses virées dans l'indicible..

JSUD s'est allié avec l'Atelier Société Ecran et des amis pour confectionner une version sérigraphiée sur bois medium peint en édition limité à une petite soixantaine d'exemplaires discophiles.

>> Note to our friends abroad, in lack of a better solution the shipping costs are quite high (any ideas much appreciated). You might want to team up if you can with your local store/distro/circle of discs enthousiasts..
Remise en main propre possible en Lyonnésie.

Press release:

After over a 15 year hiatus, the Imajinary Friends are back with a new collection of sizzling electric dreams from space that pulsate with a strange, sexy, far out groove (i.e. L’Outsider, with guest vocals and lyrics by Deborrah Morgan aka Moogy.) On their eponymously self-titled 3rd LP, the Imajinary Friends tweak the frequencies and really fry all the instrumentation that is both dizzying and danceable (i.e. The Dark Sparkle or Space Trash.) The Imajinary Friends continue to experiment with sounds and rhythm on tracks like 101 Kazoos and Frangipani. This record brings the rhythms of the 70’s Krautrock scene with the dark guitars of UK Post-Punk paired with buried vocals and slurred sounds of the 90’s shoegaze movement.

The Imajinary Friends are a somewhat mysterious collective. Ever changing and evolving. The core 3 are Tim Digulla (one half of Lounge/Exotica/Electronica duo Tipsy,) Ricky Maymi (current guiterrorist & founding member of The Brian Jonestown Massacre; he also played with Mellow Drunk, Spectrum, The Wild Swans and Steve Kilbey, among many others) and Travis Threlkel (also a founding member of BJM, now, founder & creative director at Obscura Digital) For these recordings, the Imajinary Friends enlisted the following to sing vocals on several tracks: The aforementioned, Australian/French-Belgian Singer-songwriter Moogy (L'Outsider); Stephen Lawrie of The Telescopes (Hate This Party); and Marleen Nilsson of Death And Vanilla (Baby’s Bathwater)

What’s being said about The Imajinary Friends...

"San Francisco's The Imajinary Friends, mercurial pranksters of soundscape and pop, continue to turn in the unexpected with their unique brand of original and uncompromising music." -- Pete Kember aka Sonic Boom

“Pretty way out stuff that floats around enough while being sort of hypnotic drawing the listener in.” – Flipside

“Play this with your headphones on, and you'll enter another realm- -wild shit awaits!” – Anthropomorphic

“Vocals so buried in effects it's like a damaged subway platform speaker. Guitars that spatter fuzzed drones and damaged, fractured sounds, and a repetitive bass that turns this into a hazy, humid sputter. Like the static of a five-dollar transistor radio, this is raspy aural adventure without the original psychedelic pop structures or attitude...” – The Big Takeover
