Tim's third album is a natural development of Tim's classic pop-smarts and an aesthetic expansion into spaces as wide and wonderful as the title suggests.
'Big World' is the newly recorded third album from singer / songwriter Tim Guy. Following 2007's experiment in lo-fi, 'Hummabyes', and the folk-pop of 2004's 'Blazey', 'Big World' is both a natural development of Tim's classic pop-smarts and an aesthetic expansion into spaces as wide and wonderful as the title suggests.
A co-production between Tim and Jeremy Toy (additional guitars, bass, and keys), the album was recorded throughout 2009 in Auckland and features Julien Dyne on drums, with further help from Matt Short, Jason Smith, Ben King, Edmund McWilliams, and Anji Sami, whose sensuous backing vocals lend not only colour but feminine form to the record's in-the-air romanticism.
Like all fine recordings, 'Big World's pop credentials are the result of several stages of perfectionist graft. Jol Mulholland mixed the album and Dave Cooley (Serge Gainsbourg, Polyphonic Spree) mastered it in Los Angeles, both men expertly finalising what came from Jeremy's imaginative studio-scientism and began with Tim's relatively straight-with-a-twist songwriting style. The result is a lush transformation of Tim's best songs into his strongest album to date.
