Post author By vish
Post date December 18, 2025

Jimmie Kilpatrick returns to discuss his excellent album Jimmie, the heartening experience of living in Manitoba, Canada these days and concentrating on his community, why he retired his Shotgun Jimmie name, bringing his sound sculpture work into his indie-rock aesthetic, collaborating with Ladyhawk’s Ryan Peters and messing around with tape loops, making subversive pop music, numerous lyrical references to analog and communication technology and falling asleep, keeping a little too busy, touring with the Burning Hell and alluding to Joni Mitchell, pondering work with John Samson Fellows, other future plans, and much more.
