Her (Radio Edit) / I'm Not Worried / Disco Beat TALL TALE RECORDS

TD Lind is one of those singer/songwriters who continues to impress with each and every new release; latest single HER being no exception to that rule.
A jaunty slice of indie power pop, TD Lind settles into a sound that finds the middle ground between The Shins and Crowded House, a kind of easy listening indie guitar groove. Chock full of infectious singalong moments and a sense of the sublime, HER is the kind of tune destined to set TD Lind further on the road to stardom. Backed by a couple of mesmerising b-sides too, I'M NOT WORRIED (a gentle acoustic
shuffle) and DISCO BEAT (twisted blues meets hissing lo-fi), HER could well be the moment TD Lind finds himself garnering a whole host of new fans.
Proof of the power good songs and a mesmerising voice can have, singer/songwriter TD Lind is someone blessed with a grace and majesty that is understated yet beguiling.

BIOGRAPHY
Most of us were made to stand up and pay attention to TD Lind last year when he released his debut single COME IN FROM THE COLD, very quickly fans in the press and radio were singing his praises. A brilliant live session on BBC 6 music with Tom Robinson, where he made Record-of-the-Week, sparked off a number of plays with key radio tastemakers such as Phil Jupitus, Bob Harris and Mark Radcliffe (Radio 2). Also one of his songs was even used in one of the surprise hit movies of last year 'Driving Lessons' starring Julie Walters.
He dazzled at south x south west and his live shows really began to hot up with high profile supports with James Blunt and Mew,, and key shows at The Wireless Festival and The Americana Festival, which saw his powerful performance mesmerise the crowd and it also secured his reputation as a hot new talent to watch out for.
Now as 2007 starts warming up he is back with his new single RADIO PROPOSAL, set for release on March 5th acting as a prelude to his long awaited Album LET'S GET LOST, which is released on the 19th March.
RADIO PROPOSAL is written with integrity and authenticity. The sound of alt-country making brave and admirable strides towards mainstream acceptance. With a sound that echoes Josh Rouse at his most euphoric and the infectious literate pop of The Pernice Brothers, RADIO PROPOSAL is just what its title implies; a song that, understandably, begs to be played. And, if the producers behind the airwaves have any sense at all, it will be.
