This Theory of Static was formed in 1998 as "breathingunderwater" in Auckland New Zealand by guitarist/singer Dean Young. The "Aquatic Ceremony" EP was released on MP3.com the following year. In 2000, Horizonchrist, breathingunderwater's critically acclaimed debut album was released on MP3.com and further blurred the lines between electronia and rock. The album showcased some of the band's most expansive and intricate songwriting to date, coupled with a more dense, layered production. The album was an online favourite at MP3.com, with the single "A Brand New Hurt" hitting the top of the "Goth Rock" charts and spawning the remix EP "A Dry Remorse" featuring contributions from the worlds's most popular internet underground electronica artists including Terran 7, Edgmere, AFM and The Mercy Cage. |
