In another life, Jimmy Whispers was James Cicero, vocalist and front man for Chicago-based indie pop ensemble Light Pollution. After that group dissolved some years back, Whispers adopted his childhood nickname—he was a soft-spoken kid—for his solo work. He now resides in Los Angeles, California. The Search for God is a wake-up call for a troubled world that’s still worth saving, animated by a belief in the power of small connections to add up to big changes. Jimmy Whispers’ sophomore album was created mostly with two vintage synths, a drum machine, and a busted karaoke machine. It channels Midwestern emo, the Beach Boys’ Smile, subtle nods at hyper-pop production and forgotten jewel-box era college radio of the early aughts into a pure pop sound that transcends easy categorization. https://found.ee/jw_searchingfor <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Jimmy+Whispers">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
