Thighpaulsandra

In addition to his collaborations in a diverse range of projects, multi-instrumentalist Thighpaulsandra (a.k.a. Tim Lewis) has also established himself as an experimental solo artist. After working with Julian Cope on such albums as 20 Mothers (1995) and Interpreter (1996), they eventually formed the ambient project Queen Elizabeth and released two records. In 1997, Thighpaulsandra replaced keyboardist Kate Radley in Spiritualized in time for a tour, including the renowned show at Royal Albert Hall. Despite several other members leaving, he stayed onboard for Spiritualized's Let It Come Down and Amazing Grace. In 1998, Thighpaulsandra also became a member of Coil, appearing on Astral Disaster and Musick to Play in the Dark Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. He began to release his solo experimental work in 2000, starting with the Some Head EP. I, Thighpaulsandra followed in January 2001, and later that year he issued the Michel Publicity Window EP.
