Based in London, UK, Bim are composed of Tim Davis (singer, songwriter, producer) and Rebecca Rosier (singer, songwriter). Davis is primarily a pop producer/writer, but has also composed for commercials. Rosier is a writer and trained as a contemporary dancer.
[edit] Bim EP (2007)
The duo met and formed in 2007 after being introduced at a Million Dead gig in Bristol, UK. Davis was involved in pop-punk band Home From Home at the time, while also working on a solo electro project. After recording a demo together, the duo continued to write and record while studying at universities in London, releasing their first eponymous EP in September 2007.
A video for the single Stay In My Memory, by award-winning mixed media animator Katy Davis gained popularity and won a number of awards in animation and short film festivals in 2009. The video went on to be featured on YouTube and MySpace. At time of writing (24 June 2011), the video has had 825,960 views on YouTube.
[edit] Scatterheart (2010)
The duo released Head Over Heels, the first single from their debut album Scatterheart, as a free download in October 2010. Scatterheart was independently released shortly after with a secret launch party at Road Trip in London with The Good Natured, organised by pop blogger EQ. Following the album launch, the duo were Band Of The Day in national newspaper The Guardian,[1] as well as featuring in NME's Peter Robinson's top five underground bands. Q labeled them as 'the next big things' while in American Instinct magazine, the album was given a four-star review.
In late Summer of 2010, the duo released acoustic versions of their album tracks, Raindrops, Head Over Heels with a cover version of Regina Spektor's Us.
