2 Geoff { 05.08.10 at 7:35 am }: ‘Noiseworks’ came up at a recent black tie affair I attended a few nights back. I encountered a gentleman who claimed he had met Tim during his recent travels in Tristan De Cunha. “Genius” he said of Tim. He went on.. “His appetite for music was surpassed only by his appetite for food, which was surpassed only by his appetite for crossbreeding house cats with wild squirrels, which was surpassed only by his appetite for stacking discarded Listerine Pocket Pack containers. Also, he smelled of cumin.”

I was mind blown away hearing some of your tracks on triple J a few mins ago, chasing waterfalls is out of this world. well done on everything.

Kind Regards,
Yne

“Cool Quotes”

“Psychedelic. Balearic. Straight up pop. Call it what you want, this is memorable music.” keytarsandviolins

“Lush, dreamy future pop that just begs you to dive in headfirst, your heart in close second. Just be careful how many times you dip in – you might find yourself blissfully lost in here.” mess+noise

“Impressive elastic strands of plaited sense associations; extract of flashy disco, pastoral swoon and computer exploration.” threethousand

“A total cottage industry – one guy recording, pressing and releasing his own music – and itâ€™s an example of how to do it right from the bottom up.” Stylus

“A manic journey of sounds, bound by neither genre nor era.” Beat

“Cuts-and-pastes big samples with delicately rendered instrumentation. A party jam. Four stars.” Pitchfork
