Fite builds upon his signature samples here, but with a more restrained, mature hand. Famous for mining record store bargain bins for long-forgotten CDs, Tim takes tracks from their musical obscurity, dusts them off, and reburies them in his own tunes.

Features members of Sufjan Stevens' band and My Brightest Diamond   [ read more ]

If you long for the days of when Beck Hansen was a nobody, armed with only his quirkiness and a sampler, then the debut album by Tim Fite, Gone Ain't Gone, is definitely recommended.
