Tin Man
Austrian-based Tin Man was born in Los Angeles to Finnish parents, making him a true global citizen.
He has been building his reputation slowly over the last five years, first via a series of classic house influenced 909 driven releases for Keys of Life, a sub label of famous Finnish imprint Sähkö recordings. His work started to take a darker, more cold wave influenced shape in 2008 with his mini album “Wasteland” for Global A Records, then last year he moved from LA to Vienna and released the album “Scared” on Philadelphia based indie avant-garde noise punk label White Denim. “Scared” reached to an even darker zone, drenched in despair, bringing his voice more to the fore whilst keeping and expanding on techno, house and cold wave influences in his own unique way.
He has followed up with this year's LP "Perfume," on Salon Records, which sounds like nothing else he's done before. It's a collection of careful produced tracks that reveal a love for Acid House and flair for darkly hued song writing, even veering into pop.
