Timesbold pairs vivid, cunning lyrics with music that skillfully balances the rickety with the rich and the raucous with the ruminative. Lead-vocalist/lyricist Jason Merritt (a.k.a. Whip) and multi-instrumentalists Tony San Marco, Eli Schneider, Jesse Sparhawk and Max Avery Lichtenstein (who also handles production duties) congregate at Max's Tin Drum Studios just outside New York City, where they conjure up their compelling atmospheres of tone, texture, melody and noise.
