Tim Exile has straddled the producer, songwriter, performer and inventor/programmer roles for years. The Finger is a mission statement of how things are gonna be in future... bringing this all together to open up the future of instruments and performance and connect with the now wave.
Since his 'Nuisance Gabberet' days back in 2006, Tim has been focusing on a new sound and direction; his efforts culminating in the most remarkable spaced-out windowlicking freak-show this side of the Sun...
With the stunning 'Family Galaxy' track doing the rounds as a limited single on Warp, the buzz is building for the incoming 'Listening Tree' album (released 6th April on Warp Records and Planet Mu).
What we have here is some groundbreaking shit!
It's the first time we've heard someone really nail the twisted electronic pop thing that so many have tried. Impeccable production, sleek tweaks, mind bending arrangement and lyrics slot together to make this a deep, dark futuristic record. But dont expect easy-listening.. It's sort of like the music that will be made by bio-computers when they figure out how to wire a producer's mind & heart into your laptop.. :0)
However, no fucked up bio-robo-machine could ever bring the show that is Tim Exile live. With his home made 'live unit' mark 2, Tim improvises his way through loops & layers building up huge tracks only to be heard once before they melt into the album hits.
Prepare to become acquainted with the superpower of electronic performance.

Tim Exile returns with a Planet Mu album release bringing together live recordings of the past years shows. Entitled "Nusance Gabbaret Lounge" these madcap sessions are just that. His unique live style and set up is in full effect as we hear him move from Lidell-esq beatbox throwdowns to razzy house up to ravey techno and all the way into tech-mission-jungle zone.
Where Tim differs from alot of his breakcore & jungle comrades is his ability to invent completely new paths to explore. The Doctor (his nickname in these circles) alludes to his genius use of academic knowledge to develop groundbreaking new software and technology furthering his quest for real-time live electronic performance. For example, you may be lucky enough to witness his new robo-cock that at an upcoming show.. a prototype wireless mechanism that Timmy plays with, twisting and tugging, effecting and filtering as he screams at the audience to "fucking move!"..
