Sackville's favorite son Shotgun Jimmie stakes his claim for the hearts and
minds of millions with Transistor Sister. A much anticipated addition to a
growing discography, following the solo debut The Onlys (Delorean) in 2007
(featuring the CBC Radio 3 and college radio chart-topping single “Bedhead”),
and the much loved Attack in Black backed Still Jimmie (You’ve Changed) in
2009, Transistor Sister sounds a new confidence in Shotgun Jimmie, a
confidence earned by the mile, by train or by busted up mini-van, on
countless Canadian crossings and a couple of recent tours overseas.

Transistor Sister was written on tour in Europe and you can hear Jimmie in
this new environment, telling the people he meets about back home, what it
looks like, what falling in love there feels like, how we think about things
like songs, and peace, and love. It’s a good way to see the world; packing
light, a bunch of two minute blasts of pop perfection (“Late Last Year,”
“Suzy,”“Transistor Sister”), a few all out anthemic rock hits (“King of
Kreuzberg,” “Swamp Magic,” “Peace and Love”), and a couple of stellar
collaborators: Ryan Peters of Ladyhawk and Lightning Dust on the drums and
harmonies, and Jay Baird ofthe Feist live band and Do Make Say Think on bass
and flute.

Transistor Sister is also the first Shotgun Jimmie album recorded in a fully
operational professional studio, at Riverport NS’s TheConfidence Lodge by Diego
Medina, but it maintains the experimentation and spontaneous sense of
creation of the best home recordings. Run down the stairs, slamming doors,
grab a weed whacker from the shed and mic it through a wah pedal. It just
sounds better doing it than it has before. The album was tracked and mixed
in a couple of weeks at the end of August 2010, hurricane season, as
the unusually
warm waters off the south shore crashed and waves broke.

PRAISE FOR SHOTGUN JIMMIE & TRANSISTOR SISTER

"[Shotgun Jimmie's] music is a beer-soaked love letter to the grungy 1990s –
we hear Weezer and Sloan and, on Swamp Magic, Neil Young’s Crazy Horse. It’s
rugged, focused and thoughtful, with no time wasted and no pretension." -
The Globe and Mail

"Solid indie rock songs that sometimes evoke Chad VanGaalen and Eric’s Trip
prop up the narratives. The 16 tracks sail by in a breeze, with loose
distorted guitar riffing atop laid-back drumming by Ryan Peters (Ladyhawk,
Lightning Dust), unexpected and amusing flute parts and melodies that’ll
follow you through the weekend." - NOW Magazine

"Armed with nothing but honesty and a knack for writing a catchy tune,
Jimmie flys through over a dozen songs in just over 30 minutes. You know
that impossible target that nobody can hit at the shooting range? Jimmie’s
just hit it twice, with one shot." -View Magazine

"Throughout Transistor Sister, Jim channels all kinds of sloppy and
beautiful rock'n'roll, words like lucky quarters and impromptu secret
handshakes. It is 16 tracks in 30 minutes. It is a lake full of rainbow
trout." - Said The Gramophone
