Although he makes up one quarter of Seattle alt-psych outfit Motopony, multi-instrumentalist Timothy Robert Graham is also a solo songwriter who’s always eager to grow. The experience of writing and touring alongside Motopony frontman Daniel Blue has especially lent itself to Graham’s patience and maturity with his craft, best heard on his 2018 sophomore album SPEAK.
Steve Aguilar (the producer behind The Head and The Heart, Damien Jurado and more) worked closely with Graham for nearly two years on SPEAK, giving life to eleven fun and introspective psych-pop-rock tracks that recall ’90s Britpop and place Graham on the same plane as modern heavyweights like Portugal. The Man. and Spoon. Timothy Robert Graham plays tomorrow night at Hole in the Wall so invite some fear into your Friday with “Scaring the Children“!
