Ex-Daytrader vocalist forms Some Stranger

Former Daytrader vocalist Tym has announced that he has formed a new band called Some Strangers with artist Daniel Danger (who has done work for ABC, HBO, AMC, and LucasArts).

The band is currently recording their debut release with producer producer Gary Cioffi (Transit, Misser, Long Lost).

Tym posted the following statement and video on PropertyOfZack about the recording.

"So Daytrader’s not a band anymore. It was a tumultuous turn of events, but in the days following everything that happened my long-time friend/collaborator Daniel Danger suggested (half jokingly) we start a band. He sent me a couple of tracks he had been working on instrumentally and I was blown away.

Within 48 hours we had two songs completely done. Though we lived only a few miles away from each other, we ended up writing almost everything by sending logic files back and forth via e-mail. The material was pretty different for me. The creative/frantic guitar-work combined with a liberal use of effects pedals (Dan has literally one of the largest vintage effects pedal collections in the world) really made them have their own vibe. I arranged the music to work with my storytelling / songwriting approach and all of a sudden we had enough songs to make a record.

The complexity and style of the instrumentals really pushed me to challenge myself as a vocalist. I had been on tour so much this past year I had all these songs/words/melodies stuck in my head and in my notebook and it just all poured out, singing in my bedroom to the music Daniel had created in his bedroom. So now we’re a bit more than halfway through the recording process of our first record. It’s going well. It’s getting weird."
