Timeline
Darren Hayman (born 1 December 1970) is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist.
He is best known as the writer, lead singer, and guitarist in Hefner.
Since Hefner disbanded in 2002, Hayman has embarked on a prolific solo career releasing twelve albums under his own name and appearing on albums by Papernut Cambridge, Rotifer and The Great Electric.
He has regularly worked with The Wave Pictures, producing an album for them, directing three of their music videos and briefly employing them as his backing band.
The band split in 2002, their discography numbering four studio albums as well as a number of compilations and a live album.
Hayman's first works after Hefner were an album with The French and an EP with The Stereo Morphonium.
Both were electronic projects.
Hayman stated afterwards that he "spunked his career up the wall spectacularly" by following Hefner with the electronic The French.
Hayman's debut solo album Table for One was released in 2006 by Track & Field, receiving a five star review in The Guardian.
It was followed in 2007 by Darren Hayman & the Secondary Modern, his second solo album, featuring a new backing band.
The album featured guest appearances from singer-songwriter John Howard and Pete Astor (of The Loft and The Weather Prophets fame).
Hayman employed The Wave Pictures as his backing band for a short tour in 2007, resulting in the live album Madrid, credited to Darren Hayman & The Wave Pictures.
In 2008 Hayman fronted self-proclaimed "East London bluegrass" outfit Hayman, Watkins, Trout And Lee, releasing an eponymous album recorded around Hayman's kitchen table over two days.
The band is named after Dave Watkins from Hayman's band The Secondary Modern, John Lee from B-Monster and Simon Trought (spelled Trout here) from Tompaulin.
However, Lee and Trought do not appear on the album, which instead features David Tattersal from The Wave Pictures and fiddle player Dan Mayfield.
Also in 2008, Hayman released the compilation Great British Holiday EPs, which collects the EPs Caravan Songs (2005), Ukulele Songs from the North Devon Coast (2006), Eastbourne Lights (2006) and Minehead (2007) which were recorded in the EPs' titular locations by Hayman during holidays.
Hayman states that the collection is about "a love of days gone by".
This was followed by the release of a further EP called Songs For Harmonium And Drum Machine for the p572 label in Canada, with all the songs titled after and written about the Brat Pack members Andrew McCarthy, Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy.
In 2009, Hayman released the first part of his "Essex Trilogy", Pram Town, named after Harlow, in Essex, which was given the Pram Town name by the Daily Mirror in the 1950s.
The album is a 'folk-opera' concerning a relationship between a man and a woman who is out of his league, Hayman stating that the album "is a set of songs about someone who doesn't escape. It’s about how pride can lose you love. It's about high and low ambition and the gap between".
Essex Arms, the second installment in the "Essex Trilogy", was released 2010, his first release on the Fortuna Pop! record label.
It is an album concerning Essex on a larger scale than Pram Town, with songs about factories closing, dogging hot spots and the littered countryside, featuring guest appearances from Emmy the Great and Fanfarlo.
In January 2011 Hayman recorded and released a song every day in the month of January, working with many collaborators.
Hayman also paints and has exhibited his work at exhibitions about animals in space and racing dogs.
Hayman first made a name for himself as the lead singer and main songwriter in UK indie rock band Hefner, who were big favourites of the late John Peel.
During January 2011 Hayman recorded and released a song every day of the month, as well as keeping a video diary each day, making them available free of charge.
The songs featured different collaborators on different days, including Elizabeth Morris from Allo Darlin', The Wave Pictures, Jack Hayter and Ballboy.
Hayman states about the project: "I get tired of having to wait to release songs and records. I thought this would be a way to solve the release bottleneck. I thought it would be funny and at least a little interesting".
Following the January project, Hayman curated the Vostok 5 exhibition at the Outside world Gallery in London which ran from 1 to 7 September 2011.
The exhibition was "for people who love rockets and animals" according to Hayman and featured songs and paintings by Hayman, Paul Rains (Allo Darlin'), Duncan Barrett (Tigercats), Robert Rotifer (Rotifer) and Sarah Lippet (Fever Dream) about animals and humans that have travelled to space, including soviet space dogs, Alexei Leonov, Wernher von Braun and Sergei Korolev.
Hayman then released The Green and the Grey (2011), an album featuring additional tracks from the Essex Arms sessions and produced the album Beer in the Breakers (2011) for The Wave Pictures.
Still in 2011, Hayman's next solo album, The Ship's Piano, was released, an album recorded entirely on a 1933 fold-away piano, the type of piano often found "crammed into the corners of seafaring parlours".
Hayman told Clash that the piano is the first instrument he owned that was older than he was and that the title song is about an imagined history of the piano's former owners.
The record was written while Hayman was recovering from a head injury "which rendered him extra sensitive to sound".
In December 2011 The Hosting Couple by Rotifer was released, with whom Hayman was the bass player at the time, alongside frontman Robert Rotifer and former Thrashing Dove Ian Button.
Rotifer states of Hayman that "it was always quite funny playing with Darren Hayman, because he is not really a bass player. He has this tiny toy bass, a little Fender, and he had this really idiosyncratic way of playing".
For his final projects in 2011, Hayman curated a musical advent calendar in association with Fika Recordings, where two festive songs were made available for free every day of the advent period, and released the Christmas EP, Christmas in Haworth.
In January 2012, one year after recording a song a day, Hayman released an album of all the tracks called January Songs, each individual CD coming with its own hand-drawn cover art.
This was followed a few months later by The Shit Piano, a re-recording of The Ship's Piano using vintage Casio keyboards.
