Young Dutch band Taymir makes authentic pop songs in the 60's beat tradition, with the upfront-ness of the Arctic Monkeys and the edge of The Strokes. Shortly after their debut single Aaaaah was released in late 2013, the song topped the Dutch airplay charts. Debut album Phosphene was also released in late 2013 in the Netherlands and Taymir was proclaimed 'the sound of 2014' by the Dutch music press. The band played Eurosonic Noorderslag in 2014 to rave reviews.
