In 2010, after extensive travelling in Europe, the United Kingdom, the United
States and Australia, Timothy Blackman returned to his hometown after an eight
year hiatus recording his sophomore LP,
Everyone Needs Something to Hold On To, over four days in an abandoned church on
the outskirts of Wellington.
Everyone Needs Something To Hold On To departs from Tim's laconic lo-fi
leanings, delivering richly evocative
sweeps of instrumentation and polished vocals which nonetheless remain
quintessentially solemn and sincere.
The album was produced by Timothy Armstrong and features a number of Blackman's friends from other Wellington bands/orchestras.
