A musical project by Jimmie Veal

Songs at the intersection of current events, ancient words, cultural static, and the questions that survive all three.

Where did the year go?

A question Jimmie carried for years. A model that partly fits. An invitation to see what your own numbers suggest.

Listen closely.
The hour has layers.

Scroll & Signal is not a claim to have tomorrow decoded. It is a place to examine the signs, test the noise, and make songs from what remains.

The catalog can move between prophecy, headlines, satire, doubt, hope, and the strange machinery of the present moment—without pretending every question has already been answered.

Something’s
About to Break

A song about tension, uncertainty, and staying awake

A red moon, black water, code talking to code. Something’s About to Break follows the uneasy feeling of different worlds making the same sound—without claiming to know what comes next.

“Not saying I know, I’m just saying look around”

IMAGINED

A song about image, imagination, and learning to look like love

The project begins with a question: if being made in God’s image is not about feature, shape, or skin, what was that image meant to look like in us?

“The likeness never left us. We just made it hard to see.”

Dedicated with love and gratitude to Dr. Jodi Marie Hicks, who inspired some of these words and encouraged their release. jodimarie.co

MID-SENTENCE

A song about gratitude, dependence, and the stories we tell about becoming

MID-SENTENCE follows a man who slowly edits the help he received out of his own success story—until shame turns the witness to his rescue into someone he can barely face.

“Every boast begins mid-sentence.”

BEFORE THE WORLD
KNEW THAT SOUND

A shoegaze journey through the changing soundtrack of human history

Before the World Knew That Sound listens to history instead of looking at it. From hoofbeats, hammers, and valley bells to tractors, trains, radios, and the electric hum of a house that never fully sleeps, the song traces how every new sound first enters the world as something strange—then quietly becomes ordinary.

Wrapped in atmospheric shoegaze, it wonders what disappears beneath all the noise we add, what silence still remembers, and what sounds we are creating today that future generations may mistake for peace.

“Every familiar sound was once something the world had never heard.”

The Late Watch an album in development

A working collection shaped around watchfulness: the quiet hours, the loud headlines, the old warnings, and the human tendency to sleep through things that matter.
