Imaginary Johnny

Add Date: July 26 

Artist: Imaginary Johnny 

Album: Dig 

Label: Unfinished Side 

Genre: Rock 

Comments: A very solid effort from the Brooklyn-based band Imaginary Johnny, Dig is a mix of '70s-style AM radio rock and modern indie. The Boston Globe has described Imaginary Johnny's music as "a blend of Tom Petty pop hooks and Wilco spirit", while the onesheet compares the band to John Vanderslice and Gram Parsons, among others. I'll see those comparisons and throw in The Love Language and Jason Collett. If any of these bands appeals to you, my guess is that you'll find something to enjoy on Dig.

Spin "To Be Excused", "If You Can Get Down to It", "Soak City" and "She Has the Sky".
