And his new album Total Swarm For Young Men. Been going for quite a few years but this has the feel of a major breakthrough, not that I'm not going to explore his entire discography after this. As I said earlier,

Imagine a gay Gareth Liddiard trying to make a speculative sci-fi concept album but being assailed by chaotically immaculate IDM throughout, all with a melodic sensibility of Montreal wouldn't baulk at, and it being the best music

I mean, is this not the greatest and most enticing Bandcamp write-up you've ever seen

So, it is the destiny of humankind—(in the sense that it is inevitable)—That all humans will collapse into a swirling hive-mind mass—A "swarm," you know—You get the picture, or anyway, you will—Boundaries rendered meaningless—Recursive disintegration—Again I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing—But it's probably happening—(just inevitable)—And it's probably me and my friends who will be the first—Not that we're special—(in fact, I guess when all this is apparent we will truly not be special—in a sense we will never have had a chance to be special)—But it takes a kind of deviant to get the ball rolling—Need have an open mind—(in more than one sense)—That's all I'm saying—Anyway—This is how it might happen—And why I think it should happen—I mean I'm excited—You don't have to be—This is just how I think it might happen.

Oh wow I've known Tim for a long time, super great to see his work getting noticed.
