Our Take

Band Talk

Jerry Dimmer, the man behind Dim Dim, resides in Bruxelles, Belgium, creating his own musical universe just outside of most known genres, electronic, pop, or otherwise. Refusing to get a “normal” job all these years, he was once a professional cartoonist and a professional musician who backed and produced for a few successful pop bands and dance bands in Europe. He also created video game music and illustrated children’s books, but Jerry always returned to his own private world of Dim Dim when he was on his own time.

Jerry Dimmer’s cartoons characters seem to still reside inside many of his songs. Sometimes, songs manifest themselves as spacey melodic guitar adventures, sometimes frantic bubbly pieces, sometimes crooked waltzes and sambas. They come from a variety of angles, but are always recognizably Dim Dim. Jerry’s love of Japanese and American culture, psychedelic kraut rockers and exotica—though not obviously referenced in the music—are not surprising.

Dim Dim’s fourth album, “Bounce,” delves further into Jerry’s own private musical universe of outsider electronic mayhem. His exploded cartoon sound-tracks come fueled with a love of pop culture, melding spacey guitar and instrumentation with bubbling beats amongst an array of animated sound effects and melodic twists. Somehow Dim Dim manages to deliver its most mature album to date without losing any of the insanity of previous releases.
