Jim Keller Announces New Album ‘End Of The World’
“The end may be near, but Jim Keller’s not too worried.”
That’s the opening message — and underlying sentiment — of End Of The World, the new solo album from Jim Keller, out Friday 24th October 2025 via Continental Song City Records. Co-written with Byron Isaacs (The Lumineers, Levon Helm) and produced by multi-instrumentalist Adam Minkoff (Graham Nash, Doyle Bramhall II), End Of The World is a collection of lean, sardonic, and deeply human songs that reflect on what it means to stay hopeful when the world seems to be coming apart at the seams.
Out today, the lead single “Got No Time For That” sets the tone — a blistering, soul-fired anthem that channels frustration, absurdity, and dark humour into one of Keller’s most infectious tracks to date. The track is about “fighting a losing battle against technology and our political and cultural chaos,” says Keller. “Trying to find a path forward that dances between the landmines. Is that a light up ahead, or the edge of the cliff?”
The song features a standout ensemble of collaborators: Keller on vocals and guitars, Lee Falco on drums, Bob Glaub on bass, Adam Minkoff, organ, guitars, piano, and background vocals, and Scott Metzger on electric guitar. It’s a prime example of the punchy and raw energy Keller brings to End Of The World — a record rooted in the pub rock, new wave, and power pop he came up on, now imbued with decades of perspective.
End Of The World also includes the soulful opener “Love One Another,” the sweltering “Black Dog,” the blistering “Lucky,” and the aching “I Wanna Go Home,” all of which showcase Keller’s ability to pack emotional weight into tightly crafted songs. Whether channeling the perspective of a PTSD-stricken soldier (“Sally Come Home”) or a drifting loner (“Here I Am”), Keller brings depth to every character he writes about.
The record is the latest chapter in a prolific run that confirms the former Tommy Tutone co-founder is in the throes of a creative renaissance, and it features some of the strongest, leanest writing of his career. A master of melody and economy, Keller co-wrote the 1981 chart-topping hit “867-5309/Jenny” before stepping away from the spotlight to manage composer Philip Glass and run his own company, St. Rose Music, representing the likes of Tom Waits and Ravi Shankar. At 50, he returned to his first love — songwriting — and has since released a string of critically acclaimed albums (End of the World is his seventh since 2010). He’s also built a vibrant musical community through his long-running NYC jam sessions.
