Tales from My Solitary Kingdom

by The First Man

/

  • Streaming + Download

    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    The First Man releases his debut album "Tales from My Solitary Kingdom". Ranging from vague and dreamy ambient melodies to energetic rock songs, delving into techno jazz, "Tales from My Solitary Kingdom" creates a world-like atmosphere, offering everything that exists to be experienced by the listener journeying through the album or show.

    You get surreal photos from post-soviet area in Vilnius where First Man landed... also there is bonus track - the craziest song from the album - "I'm an animal" filled with african choirs, techno beats and punk rock spirit.

    and if you buy an album, I'll get you a cup of coffee or tea (if you are in Vilnius!)

    While doing this album, I emptied my mind from all concepts about music.

about

After growing up in ex-Soviet Lithuania, Vytautas Tinteris, The First Man, has led an extremely erratic life: living in squats in London, studying in Estonia and the Czech Republic, camping by the ocean in Portugal while making documentaries about hippie communes there, directing fashion videos in Paris, hitchhiking across the continents in search day in and day out to know the beautiful world he experiences everywhere. After releasing the feature film "Plastic Palace People" in 2019, The First Man turned from his origins as a filmmaker to music, which he considers a "universal language", capable of conveying to others the world he sees and wishes to share. Closing himself almost entirely off from society for three months, he recorded "Tales from My Solitary Kingdom" in a rickety 19th century building, awkwardly situated in between many grey Khrushchyovkas Soviet apartments buildings; from there conducting an orchestra of three guitars, several analog and digital synthesizers, a string quartet, two jazz vocalists and a rock star.
