******************************

Sounds LikeDavid Lee Roth and Billy Joel being chased down a frozen river by a tiger.

The tiger's just had his claws clipped, so his traction on the river isn't what he's used to.

David and Billy are equipped with spiked boots so they're making good progress.

It's night time.

The tiger hasn't eaten for 2 days.

It's made chase because David was poking it with a stick while it slept.

Billy was pleading with David to stop but the tiger does not know this and will not differentiate between the two men as 'prey'.

David Lee Roth is wearing next season's Prada.

Billy Joel is wearing a grey silk suit.

The ice is about to crack.

Check it out.

   About Tim Ten Yen


"Album of the year 2008"
- Radio Nowhere

“A genius debut album of insanely catchy, clever pop music“
- Ian Sinclair, Tour Dates Magazine

“As far as writing brilliant records go, Tim Ten Yen has pretty much nailed it“
- Ross Macdonald, Keep It Fast

"This is an album almost overloaded with listener-pleasing pop.
Who could criticise that?"

- Richard Davis, Artrocker Magazine

"Ten Yen's album 'Everything Beautiful Reminds Me Of You' offers its own comforting and liberating opportunities and will surely give you a cosy feeling all winter long should you give it a good home.
In these dark times, use it to bring some light and frivolity into your life".

- Karl O'Keef, Flux Magazine


With magical production by Jo Webb and beautiful artwork by Sanna King, TTY's debut album released by Pointy Records is available from good record shops and online record stores, including directly from the Pointy Records website.
