Jim Guthrie

Even if you’ve never heard of Jim Guthrie, chances are you’ve heard him. Invisible Publishing’s Bibliophonic series returns, this time with a look at a true Canadian innovator.Jim Guthrie: Who Needs What tells the story of a musician whose twenty year career has been spent either at the forefront of Canada’s indie rock renaissance or in the background of some of the most popular indie games, films, and ad campaigns of the past decade. Through interviews with Jim, his collaborators, and fans, this book explores how a self-described “Seabiscuit” with a cult following became a major influencer of musicians at home and abroad, while never compromising, doing what he loved, and keeping it weird.
