BIO:
Timothy Carroll returns to Brisbane having spent 12 months based in Sweden playing shows in Paris, Berlin, Dublin, Stockholm and the Glatonsunbury festival in the UK. While overseas Carroll also wrote and recorded a collection of new demos in Stockholm and Berlin and is currently preparing for a mid year release of his sophomore album.

Carroll’s debut album, a stripped back alt country long player entitled ‘for bread and circuses’ was released independently in 2008 and garnered widespread critical acclaim with the first track ‘Danshyttan’ taking out ‘Folk Ballad’ and ‘Song of the Year’ at the 2009 Qsong awards as well as four star reviews in the Australian Courier Mail. Shows at the Woodford Folk Festival and a guest spot with Washington at the Sydney opera house followed.

Carroll’s next record sees him teaming up with increasingly reclusive producer Matt Redlich (Hungry kids of Hungary, Ball Park Music) and pushing into heavier electric pallet of tones influenced by the duelling guitars lines of Neil Young and driving melodies of acts like The Cure and the Smiths.

The new record to be release on Vinyl in Mid 2012 will see Carroll touring nationally.

On "The Deepest Dive"

‘(This counting life is) A beautiful acoustic pop song. It's classic production, really warm and rich, with every sound given space to breath. Carroll's a really talented vocalist with an impressive range and honest delivery. This is the opening song from his new EP - a 5 tracker worth a listen if you're a fan of acts like Patrick Watson and The Panics.’ - ★ ★ ★ ★ ..Dan Buhagiar, Senior Music Producer, triple j..
