Dntel (aka Jimmy Tamborello) produces music that merges the worlds of indie rock and electronica. Tamborello was at one time a guitarist in the emocore grouping Strictly Ballroom and also a member of techno-poppers Figurine. In improver, he has through with time in the SoCal groups Further and the Tyde. Tamborello originally started running as Dntel in 1994. Tracks he produced between 1995-1997 were released on the Phthalo label in 1999 as Early Works for Me If It Works for You. This was followed by the 2000 acquittance of an EP that had been recorded back in 1994 called Something Always Goes Wrong. The melancholy, often haunting, and electronica-heavy sweat Biography Is Full of Possibilities arrived in 2002 on Plug Research Records. It featured contributions from Chris Gunst (Beachwood Sparks, ex-Strictly Ballroom), Rachel Haden (that frump.), and Benjamin Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), among others. Tamborello stirred to Sub Pop -- also menage of his other identical successful protrude, the Postal Service -- for Dntel's 2007 album Dumb Luck, which featured Gibbard, Jenny Lewis, Conor Oberst, and many other indie stars.
