Following the release of his critically acclaimed album Below the Branches (his first for Sub Pop) earlier this year, everyone's favourite lo-fi psych troubadour brings his fizzing melody, disarming eccentricity, and blend of the unconventional to the UK for a full tour in September.
A Detroit native, Kelley Stoltz started his first band in 8th grade. He moved to NYC in 1994 to work as an intern for Jeff Buckley, sorting his fanmail, before relocating to the Bay Area with a 4-track. Inspired by a love of the Bunnymen, Bowie, The Beatles and Lee Hazelwood, he recorded The Past Was Faster (Telegraph Company) in 1999, followed by Antique Glow (Beautiful Happiness, 2003) and his ramshackle tribute to Echo and the Bunnymen Crock-o-Dials (Beautiful Happiness) in 2005.
