Back in 2009 A group of Silver Jews and Lambchop members got together to form a new band. The Nashville residents called themselves Tim Chad and Sherry and self-released their début album Baby We Can Work It Out later that year, catching the attention of cult band Pavement who invited them to play at their ATP festival.

Fast forward to 2012 and Tirk Records release a three track EP called The Love I Make, receiving support from BBC 6 Music DJs Gideon Coe, Lauren Laverne, Nemone and most significantly Marc Riley, who invited frontman Brian Kotzur and the rest of the band over for a live session on his show in 2013. Kotzur is a man of many talents. As well as drumming for Silver Jews and fronting Tim Chad & Sherry, hes a long time collaborator with cult filmmaker Harmony Korine, writing soundtracks and even appearing as characters like Buddy in Korines wild geriatric romp “Trash Humpers”.

Tirk Records now present Tim, Chad & Sherrys self titled second album, an oddly compelling mix of slinky, raucous rock, feet-dragging dadaist grooves and uplifting melodious soul accentuated with electronics and subtle motorik drum machine rhythms. In describing their sound, the band says it best: “PSYCH DANCE. If Steely Dan, The Flaming Lips and R Kelly had a love child, youd have Tim Chad and Sherry.”

The album kicks off with the heartfelt Americana of Baby We Can Work It Out, followed by The Love I Make, the bolt of crushed funk that initially got the band noticed at radio stations in the UK. We love it.
