Tommy Walter is a certified journeyman in the world of music, having studied it in both a scholarly manner and as a devout fan. He parlayed his experience in classical and jazz into a career that began (professionally) along side E (Mark Oliver Everett), striking a deal with fledgeling heavyweight Dreamworks, and (eventually) receiving Gold and Platinum certifications for the album "Beautiful Freak".
After his stint in Eels, Tommy struck out on his own, formed the group Metromax (later Tely) and released an album digitally. This project gave rise to what we now know as Abandoned Pools. In 2001, the breathtakingly orchestrated and emotionally riveting "Humanistic" was released to great fanfare and generated heat from the dynamic 1-2 punch of singles "The Remedy" and "Mercy Kiss".
The criminally under-rated "Reverb" EP & "Armed To The Teeth" followed in Summer/Fall of 2005. This led to stints with other projects (Glacier Hiking, Oliver The Penguin, solo work) as well as providing the soundtrack to animated series Clone High.
Tommy returned to Abandoned Pools and added to it's discography many times along the way, consistently creating monoliths of powerful dream-pop with electronic ambience and emotional wallop. Today, the crowd-sourced and sonically sublime "The Haunted House" is available to the general public, as is our conversation. Please support Tommy via:
