Europalm
Solo pop alias / recording project, currently working on a second album. Debut LP Someplace (released Nov 8, 2019 under the moniker Tice Fires) was written and recorded during long lonely nights around 2015 - 2018. A meticulously pieced together pop record about bittersweet love and mixed feelings about living in the city;
"As some of you know this record was on the shelf for almost two years. I still stand behind these songs but more like one would stand behind a diary from a while ago. There's a lot of sincerity in there but I feel different about some things now and drawn towards a somewhat different musical aesthetic that I can not wait to explore. That doesn't diminish how proud and happy I am with this LP and about having finished it pretty much the way I envisioned when I started making it (early 2015).
Part crazily perfectionist pop productions, part refurbished rough demos, part facade and part genuine expressions of some of my views, loves and fears. It wasn't always easy doing all writing, producing and recording alone but I learned so much and there were many moments of artistic ecstasy to make it more than worthwhile. If some of you enjoy this record even only a fraction as much as I enjoyed making it, I am a happy man.
Thanks to Shai Solan for the great mixes (and for putting up with me) and to the people close to me for some helpful comments and everything else, you know who you are."
