The mysterious, Ricky Wilson (of Kaiser Chiefs fame) pitched vocals of Tim Ten Yen bring daydreams into your reality. ‘Girl Number One’ could help him demonstrate that modern pop music is fighting the sap, but keeping the universal catchiness and heart.
This slightly funky and wandering backdrop containing piece unwinds into a positive and comforting pick-me-up. ‘When The Song Applies To You’ turns Tim into a musical twin of Belle & Sebastian, using wispiness, wistfulness and a digital twang to ooze life and reflection.
Tim is continuing to water the seeds of intrigue he’s planted in various places, especially when he played to two thousand people at the Reading Festival last year.
