JIMMY was co-produced by Maroney with Alex Farrar (Wednesday, MJ Lenderman, Waxahatchee), and the psychedelically-inspired album sees Maroney exploring the profound dichotomy of growing up in dual worlds as a child of divorce, shuttling between the devil-may-care spirit of his mother’s rural North Florida and the intensely pressured life of a Catholic school student in his dad’s Knoxville, TN. Highlights include such deeply personal, guitar-driven tracks as “Pirateutik,” “Tomatoes” jeung “Better Than You, sakabéh ditambahkeun ku video musik resmi streaming ayeuna di YouTube. Jimmy geus kapanggih ku flurry of applause ti outlets kayaning Consequence of Sound, FLOOD, Melodic Magazinejeung Ones To Watch, nu ngabalukarkeun eta salaku “a crescendo of possibilities, a visual novel set to music that rifts between silly imagination, profound introspection and cheeky self-awareness, a tribute to existing, to be oneself… ngaluarkeun dina kesadaran, luhur dina pangalaman nu ngagambarkeun lagu-lagu alus, tapi masih dipenuhi nu curious nu ngajadikeun musik nya jadi gancang ti album saméméhna."

JIMMY, a song cycle about scraping the bottom of mental, social, and emotional barrels and holding on long enough to do what can sometimes seem like life’s true masterpiece: simply being yourself.
Maroney’s folks split up before he was a teenager. Like so many kids, he spent the rest of youth shuttling between two places. With his father in the small and quiet city of Knoxville, Tenn., he was relatively privileged but pressured, a Catholic school student on whom great expectations were placed. With his mother in north Florida, a landscape more raw and real than almost any other in the continental United States, he was surrounded by country folks who only seemed to give a damn about one another. They’d show up for oyster roasts and get red-wine drunk on Saturday, then be spiffy for church by Sunday morning.
Maroney didn’t fit in with either deme, really. He was the country guy who loved fishing at dams with his dad in Knoxville, the city slicker Catholic schoolkid back among the mangroves and slash pines. But he was drawn to the devil-may-care spirit of the Floridians, the folks who only wanted to look after each other and themselves. There was one man in particular—perpetually clad in denim shorts and a white Margaritaville T, occasionally a durag—that caught Maroney’s attention. Sure, maybe he was a redneck, but “he was a good friend who people loved,” Maroney ngingat. Anjeunna jadi inspirasi pikeun JIMMY, pikeun lagu-lagu ieu ngeunaan nyoba jadi teu leuwih ti diri anjeun.
