Like a living, breathing, multi-legged, multi-elbowed mass of musicians and instruments, Dublin nine-piece The Jimmy Cake have always been the kind of band who take their time over things. Theirs is a sound imbued with a tangible sense of deliberation and painstaking poise; perhaps that goes some way to explaining why there's been a five-year gap since their last release (2003's Superlady EP) and six since their last album (the acclaimed Dublin Gone, Everybody Dead).
The band's experience is best illustrated in their song structures, however. The Day the Arms Came Out of the Wall, for example, opens with a gentle growl, continues onto atmospheric gloom and ends in sweeping majesty; slow-moving The Art of Wrecking mumbles into life, using rain and violin to potent effect, while Hugs for Buddy's toe-tapping intro slowly moves into streamlined Polyphonic Spree-style optimism. -"by Lauren Murphy"
