The Internal Tulips | ar

The Internal Tulips is a project from Brad Laner who was Electric Company and Personal Electronics and Alex Graham who is Lexaunculpt, they have a history in American Bands such as Medicine and Savage Republic but have also separately released electronic music on Planet Mu in the past.

Alex and Brad met in 1998. Brad was in retreat from a life playing guitar in noisy rock bands, publicly learning how to make electronic music. Alex was a rising star in the international electronic music scene, secretly harboring an epic fascination with The Beatles.

The two, realizing they had much to learn from one another, were determined to find a way to make music together. This took more than a few years to figure out, and it wasn't until the two conjured up the song "Arlie" in 2004 that the Internal Tulips' sound world began to congeal. A mutual fascination with melody and harmony as well as a serious disregard for the conventions of recording and composition marked the direction of the remaining work. .
