' '
,: BOYO is the pseudonym of 20 year-old singer-songwriter Robert :,
: Tilden. Tilden's been kicking around the LA DIY scene since he :
:' was 16 years old, spending the better part of it fronting the ':
,: garage band Bobby T. and the Slackers. Me, Again, the follow up :,
: to his debut Control, taps into his sense of vulnerability, :
:' taking on themes of isolation, addiction, and regret. The album ':
,: is a jagged collection of garage rock and soft DIY indie and :,
: noisey pop music, channeling everyone from Ty Segall to Elliot :
:' Smith to Deerhunter. ':
,: :,
: Biography: :
:' A lot changed for Robert Tilden over the course of the year ':
,: leading up to his new record, Me, Again. The aptly titled follow :,
: up to his first critical release, Control, was frantically :
:' finished just three months after its precursor, but exemplifies ':
,: far more growth than the albumÆs naive name suggests. RobertÆs :,
: personal development has been tracked across the handful of :
:' projects heÆs performed in since entering Los AngelesÆs vibrant ':
,: DIY scene as a teenager. But after spending the better part of :,
: his salad days fronting Bobby T. and the Slackers, opening up :
:' for local heroes like Moses Campbell, Surf Curse, and Palm ':
,: Reader he refocusing his efforts on a new project, BOYO. Now for :,
: his second release with Danger Collective Records, Robert has :
:' composed a jagged body of work reflecting on everything that ':
,: has brought him to where he is today. :,
: :
:' Like all of the songs he has produced to this day, the tracks ':
,: that make up Me, Again were conceived during the late hours of :,
: the night in cobbled together home studios around Los Angeles :
:' and the San Fernando Valley. Robert taught himself how to ':
,: record after pirating ProTools on his family computer at 15, and :,
: has since persevered through the trials and tribulations of :
:' bedroom recording to craft the sound he is now known for. ':
,: Robert doesnÆt labor over his songwriting and recording, much :,
: like his LA DIY predecessors, No Age and Ty Segall. Instead, :
:' Robert hastily writes and arranges heartfelt track after ':
,: heartfelt track, amounting to a massive musical output, part of :,
: which he and label head Reed Kanter narrowed down to construct :
:' Me, Again. The songs that make up the album range from fuzzy ':
,: ballads like ôA Social Death by Proximity (In Hollywood)ö to :,
: apologetic slow jams like ôHaunts.ö Each of the tracks give a :
:' different glimpse into scenes throughout RobertÆs formative ':
,: years, referencing the sights and sounds of the places he has :,
: inhabited as a young adult. :
:' ':
,: Before releasing 2016Æs Control, Robert toured the East Coast :,
: with long time friends and collaborators, Girlpool. He had just :
:' decided to drop out of Cal Arts, and was actively trying to ':
,: alter the destructive and lethargic lifestyle he had kept up :,
: throughout college. On that tour, while performing bare solo :
:' sets in places heÆd never been and spending time with friends ':
,: he hadnÆt seen in months, Robert started to form the first few :,
: songs for Me, Again. Feeling rejuvenated from the tour, Robert :
:' eagerly returned to Los Angeles and started building out the ':
,: record. He stepped out of his comfort zone by working with :,
: bandmate Ruben Radlauer (also of Model/ Actriz) to track the :
:' drums on a big chunk of the songs and help determine the pacing ':
,: for the record. While awkward for Robert at first, the recording :,
: method mirrored RobertÆs personal discomfort while at a :
:' transitional moment in his life, and ultimately allowed for ':
,: more vulnerability on the record. Robert recalls listening to :,
: Built to Spill, Elliott Smith, Helvetia and Deerhunter, whoÆs :
:' collective influences helped to give the album its erratic but ':
,: polished sound. A few months later, before Control had even been :,
: mastered, Me, Again was close to complete. :
:' ':
,: Since finishing the new album, Robert has been busy playing :,
: shows regularly around the West Coast with Surf Curse, Moaning, :
:' and Jerry Paper, while quietly anticipating his new release. ':
,: The album is set to come out on the heels of a split 10 inch :,
: BOYO made with Current Joys thatÆs being put out by Terrible :
:' Records and Danger Collective. For Robert, the record marks a ':
,: new beginning without a complete abandon of his past. Although :,
: Me, Again dwells on themes of isolation, addiction, and regret, :
:' Robert is enthusiastic about what it got him through, and ':
,: excited to see where it takes him. :,
