As a bass player he is notable for unique style and technical savvy. Clifford Allen of Tiny Mixtapes' wrote "Tim Dahl [...] approaches his well-worn axe with a battery of pedals and loops, combining determinate speed with murkier sonics to create a landscape not unlike a harsh, speed-freak variant on Hugh Hopper."[15]
Dahl currently lives in Brooklyn and is an active member in the music scene. He is the co-host of the Lydian Spin podcast[16] with Lydia Lunch.[17]
