History
On April 29 2020, Joyful Noise Recordings named Kramer their 2020 Artist-In-Residence, simultaneously announcing a new partnership with Kramer for the rebirth of his Shimmy-Disc label. The first releases by the newly revived label were to be 3 singles brecorded with Xan Tyler under project-name Let It Come Down. The release of this triptych was shortly followed by the duo's debut LP, entitled Songs We Sang In Our Dreams. The project had been percolating in Kramer's mind for nearly twenty years. Let It Come Down was initially conceived as Kramer's studio-only, one-man-band called TIME until 2016, when Kramer met vocalist Xan Tyler (Mad Professor/Mission Control, Technique, Orinoko, GlassHouse). After producing an EP for her in Scotland, Kramer invited Tyler to be the human voice of his new recording project. “I’d been hearing Xan's voice in my dreams for decades, so you can imagine the shock I experienced when I first heard her voice while awake,” said Kramer. “I invited her to work with me on an LP of songs I'd been working on for a long, long time.”
