Tickets Go Past was born in 2006 when two experienced musicians Phil Mills and Joost Brouwer, who met while making music for an experimental theatre group, decided to form a musical partnership. “The original idea was simply to make music that we both wanted to and loved to make and to be able to listen to it again: that was it, basically.” Initially, there was no ambition to be commercially successful or even to release an album, yet as the project took shape it became evident that it was worth presenting to a larger audience. The first album, Twelve Songs about Numbers (2008) was the result, receiving critical acclaim in the Netherlands. The second album, Mainstream, will be released internationally in January 2011. Both CDs are an extended audio trip, starting at 60s psychedelics, stopping at Pink Floyd, Talk Talk, Radiohead and Sigur Rós along the way, but ending up somewhere which is very Tickets Go Past: Moody, poetic, sensual, unashamedly intelligent but occasionally brash and often with quite a sting in the tail.
