Mood Board: Tim Carr’s Pleasure Drives
Tim Carr’s (Perfume Genius, Hand Habits) is a fixture of the singer-songwriter and session player communities in Los Angeles. He was raised in Novato, California, and at 18, Carr moved to Los Angeles to study jazz drums at California Institute of the Arts. Upon graduating, Carr pursued a scrappy career as a touring drummer with bands including The Americans and Fell Runner, in addition to producing for a handful of songwriters. In pockets away from the road, Carr’s introverted experiments with DIY production slowly shaped his debut, The Last Day of Fighting, which was widely released in 2016.
Carr is now based in the quiet Los Angeles neighborhood of Tujunga, at the foot of the Verdugo Mountains. His self-released latest album, Pleasure Drives, sparked shortly after the move to the Crescenta Valley. Pleasure Drives is out now.
