Bio / Background

Imaginary Johnny's debut full-length takes the highly-acclaimed sound of his 2003 EP, "The Upside of the Downside", to new heights. Lush orchestration emboldens intimate lyricism. A human simplicity emerges from densely-layered electronics. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that Imaginary Johnny's first-person storytelling is a play-fort built amid a thicket of sampled beats. Although it would be absurd.

Praise for "Painting Over the Dirt":

"In 'Work Related', IJ showcases his venerable story-telling talents with the heartbreaking tale of a man forced into exile after one incident. 'Work Related' brings a nouveau element to the outlaw's tale, as this post-NAFTA drama unfolds on top of a lo-fi backbeat." -TRAMPOLINEHOUSE.COM

Praise for "The Upside of the Downside":

"If the debut from Imaginary Johnny is any indication of what's to come, Belle and Sebastian best be watching its back.
