Thom Sonny Green (drummer of alt-J) received a toy drum kit at 3 years old, this early gift instilled in Thom a desire to play and create and his lack of formal education subsequently allowing him an idiosyncratic and distinctive style. However, unlike the raw physicality of alt-J performances, Thom explores a more cerebral side with his solo work demonstrating his complete artistry as songwriter, producer, and visual artist.

He announced his solo album in 2015 and it is set to be released August 19, 2016. The first release from the album, the lead track Vienna, begins as an ambient track and evolves into a brooding and dramatic soundscape similar to Boards of Canada.
