Briston Maroney Announces New Album JIMMY With 2 New Tracks

04-09-2025

(Atlantic) What do you get when you have a storied singer-songwriter introduced to the world of psychedelics reminiscing on the lives that surrounded his divorced-home childhood (the devil-may-care spirit of the north Floridians and the relatively privileged but pressured Catholic school student of Tennessee)? The answer is Briston Maroney's guitar-heavy, explosive and engrossing new album, JIMMY, out May 2nd via Atlantic Records. At its core, the new record has Maroney stepping into the minds of the two worlds he straddles between, and ultimately letting them meld to life's true masterpiece: simply being yourself.

With the album announcement, Maroney shares two songs depicting these two worlds at work: "Tomatoes" and "Bullsh*t." "Tomatoes" is a grungy portrait of post-adolescent confusion and willful idiosyncrasy that arcs into a defiant hook while "Bullsh*t," is a three-minute encapsulation of all the conflict in JIMMY.

These two new songs come off the back of "Real Good Swimmer," a masterful and magnetic rock song over which Maroney presents a snapshot of the people who he grew up knowing, as simultaneously hard and tender as Flannery O'Connor.

Maroney, whose catalog has been over 500 million streams, recently opened for The Kooks in Australia and is currently playing across the UK and Europe supporting Peach Pit. This summer, he's hitting the road with the group for their co-headlining Long Hair, Long Life Tour which includes stops at New York's Pier 17, Colorado's infamous Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and Los Angeles' Greek Theatre.
