He has released two LPs, two EPs and several 7\" singles on Dovecote Records and is currently signed with Modern Outsider Records as a part of the band Soft Swells. \n Biography\nWith roots in the Midwest, Williams' music career began in Boston, MA with a self-released EP \"Songs For the Commute\". After one year in Boston, Williams moved to New York and immediately began writing and recording a second release while staying at the Hotel Chelsea. These sessions turned into his two subsequent albums, \"8/18 Chelsea Sessions\" and \"Tales of Digression\" which would soon after become the first two releases on the Dovecote Records label. \nWilliams supported these releases playing small clubs and venues in the US and UK. In 2004 he met London-based producer Dave Lynch during a showcase at the CMJ festival in New York. Lynch offered to record Williams' next record if he ever found himself in the UK again. In November, 2005 Williams moved in with friends in Eastbourne, England and began writing and recording with Lynch. The resulting album (\"When Work Is Done\") marked Williams first release with national exposure. He embarked on multiple tours making stops at South By Southwest, CMJ, and the Sundance Film Festival. His video for \"Novel\" won MTV's weekly video contest The Freshman. \nTim Williams' third studio album Careful Love should be approached with a few more personal facts in mind: he wrote it after open heart surgery, while in love, and displaced from Brooklyn to California. Careful Love was released this past October on Dovecote Records.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Tim+Williams","playStationPath":"/stations/282638896/play","stationId":282638896,"bioPath":"/music/Tim+Williams/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Luke+Top","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/246/246919dad11994169133fde289014df3_md.jpg","artistName":"Luke Top","artistId":130062,"station_id":285078640},{"musicPath":"/music/Georgie+James","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f14/f147365f2ef9af40cd0a269a8c7dfe07_md.jpg","artistName":"Georgie James","artistId":101830,"station_id":280763930},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Uglysuit","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/27b/27bf6e5e2ff81ab80f3fd23a755427e0_md.jpg","artistName":"The Uglysuit","artistId":13582,"station_id":115303804},{"musicPath":"/music/Donora","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/355/355904fb9e5ba47695c0c5f289c56bab_md.jpg","artistName":"Donora","artistId":75417,"station_id":266491081},{"musicPath":"/music/Murder+Mystery","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/cad/cadcdc370b0df6c38274c2d4bbae83d3_md.jpg","artistName":"Murder Mystery","artistId":107486,"station_id":281862512},{"musicPath":"/music/From+Bubblegum+To+Sky","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/212/2125bd0830ed98c8d9afc08a10b0a406_md.jpg","artistName":"From Bubblegum To Sky","artistId":104077,"station_id":280822902},{"musicPath":"/music/Thao+with+The+Get+Down+Stay+Down","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/88f/88fd64dcf0660cba7b54bf9c1c12594d_md.jpg","artistName":"Thao with The Get Down Stay Down","artistId":100659,"station_id":280763157},{"musicPath":"/music/Art+in+Manila","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b32/b320c5b7d805d56c0b30527a88ec9ae0_md.jpg","artistName":"Art in Manila","artistId":135587,"station_id":286143924},{"musicPath":"/music/You+Yourn","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2ea/2ea06af444c26c50c3314aee251f300f_md.jpg","artistName":"You \u0026 Yourn","artistId":119892,"station_id":283329389},{"musicPath":"/music/De+Novo+Dahl","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e7d/e7de62db382307235789b4408d711c53_md.jpg","artistName":"De Novo Dahl","artistId":110550,"station_id":282142084},{"musicPath":"/music/Kim+Taylor","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d46/d46143cf29e42f85571d145601f43586_md.jpg","artistName":"Kim Taylor","artistId":107423,"station_id":281862440},{"musicPath":"/music/System+and+Station","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/824/82400ecd8d139da29312bf8309e87088_md.jpg","artistName":"System and Station","artistId":105353,"station_id":281290384},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Breakups","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/992/99217ebc671cd8c874271720588bfefd_md.jpg","artistName":"The Breakups","artistId":136053,"station_id":286144396},{"musicPath":"/music/Wisely","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5b9/5b9fdd4a467f26d875e83e6cc8883cae_md.jpg","artistName":"Wisely","artistId":104611,"station_id":281005259},{"musicPath":"/music/ZibraZibra","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/8aa/8aad05bf0b0de80ef07a69fcdcd9a1b2_md.jpg","artistName":"ZibraZibra","artistId":136049,"station_id":286144393},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Color+Bars","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f5d/f5def743330130aad202b0ece653a697_md.jpg","artistName":"The Color Bars","artistId":113616,"station_id":282569452},{"musicPath":"/music/Antarctica+Takes+It+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c9e/c9e3d284be22f88d54d8e2bf83b9c6f4_md.jpg","artistName":"Antarctica Takes It!","artistId":103920,"station_id":287828582},{"musicPath":"/music/Ryan+Lindsey","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/4bc/4bce566676be767e461e5faca79205f1_md.jpg","artistName":"Ryan Lindsey","artistId":139739,"station_id":287829179}]}
