Max Tundra

Max Tundra was born in the United Kingdom and grew up taking piano lessons, but mostly enjoyed playing television theme songs and music from adverts.[1] As a teenager, he bought a Commodore Amiga 500 and began exploring electronic music with it.[1] Warp Records received one song he recorded titled "Children at Play" and released it as a single in 1998.[1] Following this single his debut album Some Best Friend You Turned Out to Be was released by Domino Records in the United Kingdom in 2000.[2]
The instrumental record was followed up with Mastered by Guy at the Exchange which was his first album to use vocals. Max Tundra explained "When I was writing Some Best Friend, I thought of all sorts of weird and wonderful machines and instruments I could use to make noises, but singing never occurred to me. I had never considered using my voice on any Max Tundra record ever, but hey, I like to keep things varied, so this time round I figured what the hell!"[3] Mastered By Guy At The Exchange received positive reviews,[4][5][6] including being named the 12th top album of the year on Pitchfork Media's list of top 50 albums of 2002.[7]
In 2006, Max Tundra released a new single as part of Tomlab records "Alphabet Series" for the Letter M. The single included a cover of The KLF's "What Time Is Love?"[8], made with his Amiga during 1989. In 2008, Max Tundra toured with Hot Chip for a United Kingdom tour.[9] as well announced his new album, released on October 20, 2008 which he had worked on for the past six years.[9][1] The first single from the album is titled "Will Get Fooled Again" and was released on September 29, 2008.
