about this album
Hummabyes is Tim’s second album and is a refreshing set of whimsical alt. country flavoured indie-pop songs chock full of charmingly hummable tunes. He recorded it at home with his flatmates, who just happen to be Anika Moa (bass, bvs) and Anna Coddington (drums, bvs), both acclaimed singer/songwriters in their own right. As well as Anna and Anika, the Hummabyes album features special guest appearances from a few of Tim’s mates, all NZ music luminaries, including Ed Cake, Jeremy Toy, Age Pryor, Paul McLaney and Steve Abel. Tim recorded and produced the album himself on an eight track and it was mixed by Ed Cake at Platform studios and mastered by Chris Chetland at Kog in Auckland. Originally from Melbourne, Tim has adopted Auckland as his new home. Back in 2002 he met award winning singer/songwriter Bic Runga backstage after one of her gigs and gave her a demo tape of a few of his songs. Bic liked them so much she offered to produce his album and she ended up playing drums and guitar and lending her voice to the material as well. The resulting critically acclaimed album ‘Blazey’ was released in 2004 on Bic’s label ‘Nu Shoo Records’. Tim played support for Bic on her Acoustic Churches tour that year, performing 25 shows to over 15,000 people, and since then he has been in constant demand touring with the likes of Anika Moa, Miriam Clancy, Paul McLaney, Age Pryor, Steve Abel and Tommy as well as undertaking his own 33 date solo tour in 2006.
