2011, Kaspar Hauser
Thomas Comerford is the frontman for the band Kaspar Hauser. The band started in 1999 while Comerford was living in Iowa City. Upon moving to Chicago later that year, he began to assemble various lineups to do sporadic shows and recordings. After a few years Comerford began to devote more time to songwriting, recording and performing music, which ultimately led to Kasper Hauser's release of 2007's Quixotic/Taxidermy and 2009's The Sons.
By the end of 2009, Comerford felt he had enough material to begin working on a solo project aside from Kaspar Hauser. With the help of friends Seth Vanek (Roommate), Justin Petertil (Love Raid), Ed Crouse (Advance Base Family Band) and former Kaspar Hauser contributor Gregg Ostrom, he formed sessions to work on this unrecorded material, and after a few meetings the group recorded the older material and began writing new material. The cohesive collection of eight songs that Comerford settled on became Archive + Spiral.
