Tom the Lion

Enigmatic, London-based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Tom the Lion crafts cinematic, soulful, and quietly majestic D.We.Y. indie play the vein of performers like Villagers, Sufjan Stevens, and Beirut using a wealthy falsetto which has attracted evaluations to Thom Yorke, Chris Martin, and Jeff Buckley. He released his debut record (in most cases a set of EPs), The Travels of Tom the Lion, in tailor-made solid wood cigar containers in 2011 via Hoop Information, adopted in 2014 by his major-label debut, Rest, both which credit TTL as the only real performer.
