Tim Foljahn is a Michigan-born, New York-based
singer-songwriter/guitarist who has more than likely played on one of your
favorite records.
Some highlights from the tip of his iceberg-sized resume: He
was the guitarist on the first two Cat Power records. He toured with and worked
on the final Townes Van Zandt recordings. He lent his guitar skills to Half
Japanese as well as the Boredoms. He played on the fantastic Thurston Moore
solo record Psychic Hearts.
All the while, Foljahn released a series of his own brooding
and lovely song cycles and experimental recordings under the moniker Two Dollar
Guitar. With Sonic Youth’s Steve Shelley on drums and a revolving cast of band
and tour mates, including Smokey Hormel, Chris Brokaw and Christina Rosenvinge,
the group released six albums on Shelley’s Smells Like Records label.
Songs For An Age Of Extinction is Foljahn's
first "song-based" record since Two Dollar Guitar's The Wear
and Tear of Fear from 2006 and his first release for Kiam Records. The
wait has been long, but worth it.
Songs For An Age Of Extinction will be out on
March 6, 2012 (digital, cd and limited edition blue vinyl). Foljahn will
be touring in March (including SXSW) with Jennifer O'Connor.
