Hjemmelagde instrumenter og merkelige maskiner fra New Yorks anti-folk scene

Straight outta Wowtown, one-man band Thomas Truax (pronounced troo-aks) emerged from the fertile New York Antifolk scene that also birthed Jeffrey Lewis, Kimya Dawson and Beck. He’s famed for his array of bizarre homemade instruments (including the now-legendary ‘Hornicator’), captivating live performances, and ground-breaking recordings. He crafts some very potent songs, poetically evocative and rich with melancholy. He’s recently collaborated on projects with Jarvis Cocker and Amanda Palmer and upped his profile considerably with acclaimed covers album ‘Songs From The Films Of David Lynch’. His new tour concentrates largely on a unique presentation of his latest CD ‘Monthly Journal’, written and released in 12 intervals over 12 months of the past year.

“Inventive and Romantic” -TimeOut “His gigs are extraordinary, like cabaret nights fizzing with showmanship.” -Q Magazine “Something very, very special” -Drowned In Sound “Truax is shaping up nicely as one of the great rock eccentrics” – Uncut “Genius.” –NME
