Thy Fearful Symmetry Releases Their Debut Album "From A Blue Room"
Inspired by bands such as The Cocteau Twins, Mogwai, Love
Spirals Downward as well as Pink Floyd, South Bend, Indiana musicians Paul
Seegers and Tim Villalba have come together with a studio project that combines
shimmering guitars with lush synthesizers designed to calm the soul and fire
the imagination.
TFS’s sound is a swirling dream of ambient, post-rock, dream
pop that draws you into its dark recesses and never lets go – beautiful in its
style and dark in its delivery.
Tim Villalba is a multi-instrumentalist who has performed
and recorded music with the post-punk act Deep Fried. Tim has been influenced
by bands such as The Cure, This Mortal Coil, as well as Curve, Starflyer 59 and
The Legendary Pink Dots.
Guitar and keyboardist Paul Seegers is the former front man
for the 90's industrial act Manhole Vortex and is best known as the live
keyboardist for Seattle based synth/future pop outfit Assemblage 23. When not
touring with A23, Paul produces music from his home studio.
On From A Blue Room, TFS enlisted several writers, vocalists
and musicians to expand their sound including vocalist Mari Kattman on Barbara
Eden, lyrics and vocals by Sara Snyder on All Moments Lead to Now and lyrics by
Chris Vaughn on Men Who Never See. By enlisting these talented artists, Thy
Fearful Symmetry looked to create the ultimate studio project and make the
album more than just the sum of Seegers and Villalba's experiences.
Tracklist:
1. After the Tears Dry
2. Make Believing
3. Thunderstorm
4.Barbara Eden
5. Eva
6. All Moments Lead to Now
7. A Better Life
8. Catabasis
9. Men Who Never See
10. This Day Calls You
From A Blue Room is available as a hand-numbered, limited
edition CD with digital download from the Carbon 12 Records Bandcamp page.
