ARMS

KIDS AFLAME, now available pretty much everywhere

About Me

TG writes and records songs in his room. Sometimes he works with friends.
the album, KIDS AFLAME, is now available on ITUNES , EMUSIC , and on real, actual CD at the MELODIC RECORDS ONLINE SHOP !!! (if you buy it now, you get the "WHIRRING" 7-inch single for free.)
SOME NICE WORDS:
"You could dig through a whole month’s worth of fuzzy, home-recorded pop and not find a record as sweetly weird, as intelligently eccentric as this one. (Some of us have.) Kids Aflame is the good stuff, as loosely played as it is meticulously plotted." --Dusted Magazine
"A wild and refreshingly noisy ride." --NME
"A fine debut album matching both the romantic streak of Conor Oberst and multi-instrumental sophistication of Sufjan Stevens" --Q Magazine (**** 'Recommended')
"Arms' music is lo-fi but lovely and very, very good. There's truly not a bad song on here. 'Kids Aflame' rocks, shudders, weeps, and smiles as you reach to hit 'play' again." --The Guardian (UK)
"[Arms] readily demonstrates a knack for the slowly building, triumphant-sounding anthem that's still a little downbeat no matter what." --AllMusic.com
"I'm always hesitant to make claims about the year's best albums, but I just can't help myself here. Kids Aflame is just as lovely, complex, jarring, rocking, and re-playable as we could have hoped, and although it may be early in the year, you can expect this one way up there on our year-end list come December." --IGuessI'mFloating
TG also plays in HARLEM SHAKES and THE SEA & THE GULLS .
