Tim Kile is a recording artist and founding member of Grammy Award winners Arcade Fire and Columbia Records’ Wild Light. He has toured worldwide in support of bands such as The Killers, Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, MGMT, The Wallflowers, Doves, and many others. On the eve of his debut solo release "These Things Are Being Gathered for the Fire", Kile is prepared to greet both new and long-standing fans with his best work yet. Evoking the sweeping romanticism of The Cure and early U2, the incandescent musical sophistication of Elliot Smith, and the lyrical sensitivity of a young Nick Cave or Conor Oberst, Kile’s compositions leave a mark. Classically trained on piano and voice, self-taught on guitar and bass, Kile performs most of the instruments on his recordings. "These Things Are Being Gathered for the Fire" is slated for release in early 2021, to be preceded by a run of singles.
