An ambitious mix of electronica, guitars, strings and orchestral percussion. Ten finely-twisted songs, in equal parts melancholy and optimistic... "a tiny pop empire" (NME)
Bio / Background
In the beginning, Tim Closs was studying for a post-graduate diploma at Cambridge University under Stephen Hawking, in 'black holes and string theory'. He passed with distinction - a bright academic future beckoned. Instead, Tim chose to move to London and four years of drudgery on the Camden gig circuit.
"There's a romance to that whole scene, but also a soul-destroying monotony", he confesses. "I formed and dismantled loads of bands at the tail end of the Britpop era, met some lovely people, and got precisely nowhere. People kept telling me that the demos I was recording at home were far more interesting. Eventually I realised they were right".
Born from a couple of white-vinyl singles back in 2001, Tears In X-Ray Eyes quickly drew the attention of the music press. NME were moved to declare "lovelorn lyrical sharpness not heard since Morrissey took a sharp right-turn into irrelevancy".
