Having driven down the 605 to Long Beach, and set up shop at Jonny Bell's Jazzcats Studio, Hill played all of the instruments himself, with the exception of two outside players one for pedal steel and one for violin. The product is a record steeped in affection for artists like Randy Newman, Warren Zevon, and Neil Young, but reimagined through the lens of the modern cultural melting pot that Hill lives in. The first single, Calico, is an ode to the festival of the same name put on by the Allah-Las in Point Reyes, CA. It's a simple anthem for youthfulness and young love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Innovative Leisure","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50454316417355,"sku":"2006724","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50454323069259,"sku":"2006725","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Giant_866267a2_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727182775"},{"product_id":"shades-of-green","title":"Shades of Green","description":"\u003cp\u003eAll the shades of green. Plants. Water. The absolute necessities of life. Music, too, is an absolute necessity. To capture both color and sound in a bottle to put atop a piano like a houseplant. A clock. A fern. Synesthesia. This music is meant for that. To close your eyes and see green. To drown in the color of piano. A melancholic covey that pulls hard on the heart strings musically and lyrically, brushed over with a plethora of improvisation in smooth watercolors. With Tim Hill’s new trajectory, we are offered a fresh neuron sprawl, branching beyond lyrics in interrupted pieces of sound. He takes our reptilian brains and welds them to our unborn futures, placing us inside of his droplet. Here, we're forced to reflect out, something singular multiplies, nature brings her face in, something shifts, our speed changes, the Self refracts and what's left jumps on sustained lines that eventually arch into meditation milk. It becomes a karmic cleanse of the amygdala, a launch from normal feeling life. Tim takes the risk, committing to diving deeper into his own bottomless pool of art, gifting us with sensory treats that dilate our old perimeters. It's sky as theatre, handing out everything but answers to questions. And where do we go? Where starlight mingles. Where minds never land. A seasoned musician in all forms, Tim Hill has toured the world as a keyboardist, guitarist, saxophonist, and drummer, with a long time stint with LA group the Allah Las, and well known acts such as Nick Waterhouse, Curtis Harding, PAINT, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Innovative Leisure","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":51062256238923,"sku":"2238309","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Shades_of_Green_afd69fd6_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1736355371"},{"product_id":"leviathan-whispers","title":"Leviathan Whispers","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLeviathan Whispers is an album of longings, laments, deleriums and drones, savage and sublime.

Having worked with pioneering arts company Welfare State International, he's performed inside Stonehenge, on the back of trucks at Notting Hill Carnival, leading giants through the streets of London, Dublin and Galway, at Olympic Torch events, cooked celebratory feasts, written wassail songs, and led humanist funerals. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTim presents a darker, more contemplative side to his work, featuring tracks created for art installations, outdoor processions, solo performances and personal meditations.
