Jiminy have been weaving their way through the music scene by deconstructing genre tropes
and reassembling them into catchy dance songs. An international collective based in Brooklyn
and led by songwriter Jimmy Harris from his experience writing Electronic, Rock, and Chamber
Pop music, they have cultivated a unique and intriguing sound. This latest incarnation manifests
in the macabre dance magic that is Apocalypse Dance Party, and this time around they invite
their audience to dance like there is no tomorrow.
With natural disasters, the pandemic, humanity at the mercy of technology, and the existential
threats of nuclear war and global warming, it is understandable to feel humanity has passed the
point of no return. With Apocalypse Dance Party, Jiminy has channeled these modern and age-
old anxieties into a set of overlapping dance tracks. The festivities start with a devil-may-care
attitude and grow progressively darker in tone and serious in subject matter.
The Apocalypse Dance Party begins with a killer dance party track that does a brilliant job of
representing the chaotic excitement that came from feeling like the world was coming to an
end. “Conflating paradise and hell, celebration and destruction, is the point,” he said. “The
visual of calamari pouring down from a tsunami is atrocious and absurd, with a hint of social
satire bubbling up.”It was this idea that led Jiminy to his Apocalyptic new album. “People are endlessly fascinated by the idea of the world ending,” Jiminy said. “It’s a reflection of our collective fears, and maybe also a desire for control in an unpredictable world. I find it interesting that generations throughout recorded history have their own versions. The end of all time is a never-ending story, found in ancient mythology and prevalent in Pop Culture.”
Introduced by our paradise-weary narrator, the dance set explores increasingly dark
soundscapes and subjects, all guiding you towards one main idea. “What is the point of life if
it’s all coming to an end? Is that where meaning is found - in the here and now? If the world
were truly ending, what would you do?” The answer may just be this: scream and cheer at the
same time, and dance like there is no tomorrow. In other words, if we’re going down, we’re
getting down.Following the release of Apocalypse Dance Party, Jiminy is excited for two big things. The first isthe sequential release of videos to go along with each song on the album, something his
audience can look forward to soon. The second is being able to take a breather and enjoy the
summer. “I already have an idea on what the next album is going to look like, but I really like to
let things like this simmer,” he explained. While we wait for the next exciting project to come from Jiminy, there is a collection of his earlier works to check out and a full social media to keep up with.
